Forests are not only key to moderating our climate by sequestering atmospheric carbon, but they also create a cooling effect by increasing low-level cloud.

Researchers have shown that human-caused climate change will have important consequences for how volcanic gases interact with the atmosphere.

Fires in the country have consumed five times as much land as they do in an average year.

Using satellite data from the past two decades, scientists are starting to pinpoint which crops and farming styles have lasting impacts on forests.

In addition to being visually stunning, schools of herring, herds of wildebeest and countless other groups of organisms that act in concert can help complex ecosystems maintain their diversity and stability, new research by Oregon State University shows.

A new UBC study on the impact of climate change on coral reefs is raising sticky questions about conservation.

For nearly half a century, lightning-sparked blazes in Yosemite’s Illilouette Creek Basin have rippled across the landscape — closely monitored, but largely unchecked. 

In estimations of ocean heat content — important when assessing and predicting the effects of climate change — calculations have often presented the rate of warming as a gradual rise from the mid-20th century to today. 

A new online visualization tool will enable anyone to see what sea levels will look like anywhere in the world in the decades to come.

The study’s results are the jumping off point for another research project to identify the location of coastal seeps throughout the island.
