New research finds long-term impacts on flood size and frequency decades after trees are removed.

It was a single lightning flash that streaked across the Great Plains for 515 miles, from eastern Texas nearly all the way to Kansas City, setting a new world record.

A huge flood triggered by the rapid draining of a lake beneath the Greenland ice sheet occurred with such force that it fractured the ice above and burst out across its surface.

Temperature extremes affect rates of illness and death differently, leading to potential economic shifts from climate change.

A large region of unusually hot rock deep beneath the Appalachian Mountains in the United States could be linked to Greenland and North America splitting apart 80 million years ago, according to new research led by the University of Southampton.

Research conducted at the University of Leeds has helped to uncover a trend of increasing surface meltwater in East Antarctica, raising questions about future ice sheet behaviour.

The collapse of tropical forests during Earth’s most catastrophic extinction event was the primary cause of the prolonged global warming which followed, according to new research.

A peatland complex in the Congo Basin which is known to be a globally important carbon store is twice as old as previously thought, according to a new scientific study.

An MIT study shows decreases in seed-dispersing animals can lead to a major reduction in forest carbon absorption.

Researchers have devised a new machine learning method to improve large-scale climate model projections and demonstrated that the new tool makes the models more accurate at both the global and regional level.
