Researcher says the study establishes a reasonable estimate of global forest restoration potential and addresses the issue more directly than previous work.

Scientists have linked the decline in Arctic sea ice to the emergence of a deadly virus that could threaten marine mammals in the North Pacific, according to a study from the University of California, Davis.

Trillions of plastic fragments are afloat at sea, which cause large “garbage patches” to form in rotating ocean currents called subtropical gyres. 

Climatologically quiet, the North Indian Ocean basin has seen an unusually high number of cyclones this year.

New report calls for more powers to be given to areas such as the Sheffield City Region to help reduce carbon emissions and make the switch to clean energy sources.

Scientists have successfully captured otherwise emitted CO2, and turned it into carbonate minerals deep underground in less than 2 years.

Scientists hope to learn more about the atmosphere of the pre-oxygenated Earth and the conditions in which the first life on Earth lived.

We must be vigilant about emerging issues that could affect our waterways flowing into the Great Barrier Reef lagoon.

IIASA researchers explored optimal pathways for managing groundwater and hydropower trade-offs for different water availability conditions as solar and wind energy start to play a more prominent role in the state of California.

A new global assessment shows that human impacts have greatly reduced plant-fungus symbioses, which play a key role in sequestering carbon in soils. Restoring these ecosystems could be one strategy to slow climate change.
