Dark algae are spreading across the Greenland ice sheet as snow retreats.

Reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands could lead to an expansion of native woodland which could take in and store one million tonnes of CO2 annually, according to a new study.

It’s really hard to believe, but I will already be departing Panama tomorrow.  

For many years, scientists have been discussing whether the population in mountain regions is increasingly at risk from meltwater floods, as melting glaciers release more and more water.

Plants play a key role in regulating Earth’s climate, but recent research suggests that rising temperatures could disrupt this balance, because plants are leaking more water than previously thought.

The new study, published in Nature Communications, found that methane emissions are being underreported by at least the equivalent of between 170 million and 3.3 billion tons of carbon over a decade, depending on the metric used in calculating the shortfall.

A new study published in Nature Communications Earth and Environment gives possible insight into the underprediction of sea ice depletion and the formation of Arctic cyclones. 

Extreme fire seasons in recent years highlight the urgent need to better understand wildfires within the broader context of climate change. 

In early February 2025, bushfires ignited in northwestern Tasmania, where they have continued to burn on the island for more than a week amid windy, warm, and dry conditions.

As global efforts to combat climate change intensify, microalgae stand out as an underutilised yet promising resource.
