Climate models predict that as the planet warms, so will the Southern Ocean. But for decades, the waters around Antarctica have grown mysteriously cooler. A new study shows why.

How much will strawberry harvests shrink when extreme heat harms pollinators?

For the first time, researchers have collected detailed measurements of water vapor high above the surface of the Greenland ice sheet.

Stanford researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

On March 13, an expansive upper-level trough moved into the U.S. High Plains, Upper Midwest, and Midwest and began colliding with warm, moist air over the Mississippi Valley. 

Tropical marine low clouds play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate. However, whether they mitigate or exacerbate global warming has long remained a mystery. 

Distinguishing between rain and snow in near-freezing temperatures is a challenge, even with advanced methods.

Cary-led study reveals lightning benefits some trees by killing off parasitic vines and opening up the canopy.

Many native plants in the U.S. cannot possibly move themselves fast enough to avoid climate-change driven extinction.

New research into lithium mining in the “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia — source of more than half of the world’s lithium resources — shows that the commonly accepted models used to estimate how much water is available for lithium extraction and what the environmental effects may be are off by more than an order of magnitude.
