As ocean waters heat up, the Atlantic is increasingly seeing not just one, but two or more hurricanes spin up at the same time.

Visitors to several national and provincial parks in British Columbia and Alberta can now help monitor critical glacial landscapes as part of a new citizen science program led by researchers at the University of Waterloo.

Climate change in the Arctic is happening faster than anywhere else on the planet. 

ome was a hot place to be in early July. The temperature was 20 degrees above normal at one point during that period, according to the monthly summary of the Alaska Climate Research Center.

The Greenland ice sheet is melting at an increasing rate, a process accelerated by glacier calving, in which huge chunks of ice break free and crash into the sea, generating large waves that push warmer water to the surface.

20,000 tree ring samples shows remarkable growth resilience to droughts, but tree death could result in equivalent of Germany’s annual CO2 emissions.

As the need to find climate change solutions becomes ever more urgent, Cornell chemists are leading the way with innovative and far-reaching discoveries, including better electric batteries, carbon capture technologies, renewable plastics and improvements in solar cells. 

Humans have engineered climate change by manipulating the environment.

The typical start of fire season in California has shifted earlier by an average of more than one day every year in most of the state since the early 1990s, and up to a total change of month and half earlier in some areas, a trend driven by human-caused climate change, according to a UCLA study published in the journal Science Advances.

Research is about finding ways to do things that nobody has ever done.
