The bright lights of big cities could be causing an evolutionary adaptation for smaller eyes in some birds, a new study indicates.

Though human-made ponds both sequester and release greenhouse gases, when added up, they may be net emitters, according to two related studies by Cornell researchers.

Clear link between PFAS, BPA exposures and a prior cancer diagnosis found in large national study.

Spending days camping in a mosquito-filled swamp on the Indonesian island of Borneo, Alison Hoyt's goal was to measure methane emissions in tropical wetlands – one of the largest sources of the potent greenhouse gas.

A new study led by Cambridge University confirms that planting hedges between roadsides and school playgrounds can dramatically reduce children’s exposure to traffic-related particle pollution.

Some floods are so severe they rarely strike more than once a century, but rising seas could threaten coastal communities with yearly extreme floods.

Replacing 50% of meat and milk products with plant-based alternatives by 2050 can reduce agriculture and land use related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31% and halt the degradation of forest and natural land, according to new research.

Bouts of intense drought and rainfall are hurting water quality in rivers around the globe, according to a sprawling new analysis.

University of Houston atmospheric science researchers have found that while local emissions play a role in the rise of ozone levels in Houston, most of the pollutants can be carried in from other regions across the country, leading to excess ozone pollution.

As researchers around the world race against time to develop new strategies and technologies to fight climate change, a team of scientists at the University of Houston is exploring one possible way to directly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment: Negative emissions technologies (NETs).
