Researchers including an Oregon State University College of Engineering faculty member have taken a key step toward greatly expanding the range of plastics that can be recycled.

Climate warming will likely cause a series of harmful impacts on wheat production.

Developing countries around the globe face a challenge that pits economic growth against environmental protection.

Sea level rise and big storms are hammering coastal communities, causing increased flooding and land loss, saltwater intrusion, wetland loss/change, and impacts to local infrastructure.

The 2022 Northern Hemisphere summer was one of the hottest ever recorded in Europe with over 24,000 heat-related fatalities, and brought intense heatwaves to parts of China and North America.

Scientists are ringing alarm bells about a significant new threat to U.S. water quality: as winters warm due to climate change, they are unleashing large amounts of nutrient pollution into lakes, rivers, and streams.

The new method could be used to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce reliance on nondegradable plastics.

Turning plastic waste into useful products through chemical recycling is one strategy for addressing Earth's growing plastic pollution problem.

Researchers have devised a method to determine the impact of climate change on the supply and variability of local renewable energy.

Research author Dr Milo Barham, from the Timescales of Mineral Systems Group within Curtin’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences said the finding further challenged the understanding that the Nullarbor Plain, which emerged from the ocean about 14 million years ago, was essentially flat and featureless.
