A new “prescription for the planet” aims to address the deepening environmental crisis.

Across the globe, human activities are changing the way our planet smells.

Alaska kelp farms, which have been viewed as a potential boon for reducing local carbon dioxide levels, have surprisingly murky effects on atmospheric CO2 removal, according to a new study.

Climate warming contributes to the thawing of permafrost soils all over the world.

For decades, climate scientists have issued warnings about positive global warming feedbacks, vicious cycles in the Earth system in which rising temperatures from burning fossil fuels beget more warming.

Visualising microplastics inside living tissue without altering or destroying it lays important groundwork for future studies.

Scientists identify hydrogen radicals as the key driver in PFAS breakdown, opening the door to more effective and chemical-free water treatment methods.

Millions of rubber gloves end up in incineration or landfill, but researchers at Aarhus University have now developed a technology that can turn the used gloves into a way to capture CO₂. 

Clear-cutting in peatlands during oil and gas exploration led to 300 per cent more methane emissions.

The removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere is considered an important tool in the fight against climate change – but has so far been an energy-intensive and expensive process.
