In recent years, the news about Earth’s climate—from raging wildfires and stronger hurricanes to devastating floods and searing heat waves—has provided little good news.

New research by the University of Liverpool has revealed how an ancient underwater avalanche grew more than 100 times in size, causing a huge trail of destruction as it travelled 2000 km across the Atlantic Ocean sea floor off the Northwest coast of Africa.

Researchers at Stanford and Colorado State University have developed a rapid, low-cost approach for studying how individual extreme weather events have been affected by global warming.

Cities around the globe are experiencing increased flooding due to the compounding effects of stronger storms in a warming climate and urban growth.

Not all forest fires have devastating effects.

Catastrophic volcanic eruptions that warmed the planet millions of years ago shed new light on how plants evolve and regulate climate.

Montane forests are often cloudy, wet, cold, and occur on isolated mountains in Africa.

GOES-19, like its sister satellite GOES-18, carries an upgraded magnetometer instrument that provides improved measurements of Earth’s magnetic field over the magnetometers on earlier GOES-R series satellites.

Scientists have found new evidence that melting Arctic permafrost could unleash large sums of mercury, a dangerous toxin.

Climate and other environmental changes sometimes drive people to migrate, especially if the land no longer supports a population’s way of life.
