Persistent overuse of water and long-term drought has depleted the Colorado River and highlighted the need for a comprehensive understanding of how waters are allocated and used to develop effective management strategies.

Texas A&M University researchers have developed a more accurate method for tracking reservoir evaporation rates that will improve water planning and management.

As they seep and calve into the sea, melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising global water levels at unprecedented rates.

The sharks we know today as the open ocean’s top predators evolved from stubby bottom dwellers during a dramatic episode of global warming millions of years ago.

We have long since become accustomed to enjoying tomatoes, cucumbers, berries and melons year-round.

Permafrost soils store large quantities of organic carbon and are often portrayed as a critical tipping element in the Earth system, which, once global warming has reached a certain level, suddenly and globally collapses.

Some species may be better able to withstand climate change than was previously thought. 

Humans may be accelerating the rate at which organic matter decomposes in rivers and streams on a global scale, according to a new study from the University of Georgia, Oakland University and Kent State University.

Monitoring the global population of emperor penguins is a major challenge. 

If we want cleaner air, fewer forest fires, and less severe climate change, a new UC Riverside study shows we must reduce aerosol pollution and greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide at the same time.
