The meteorological data recorded over the past two decades by sensors of the Roque de los Muchachos astronomical observatory facilities point to a rise of 1.1 ºC in the average temperature. 

A new study in Nature finds that up to 215 million hectares of land (an area larger than Mexico) in humid tropical regions around the world has the potential to naturally regrow. 

New scalable, robust surface prevents 100% of frost formation on flat areas for a week.

Trees and forests are often seen as symbolic of nature, and for good reason: They are vitally important to both the planet and to people.

A hole that opens annually in the ozone layer over Earth’s southern pole was relatively small in 2024 compared to other years.

In perhaps the first long-term study of CO2 fluxes in northern forests growing on permafrost, an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team has found that climate change increased not only the sources of carbon, but also the CO2 sinks.

Australians love their coastal and marine environments but much of the world’s ecosystems are in various stages of decline and in urgent need of restoration.

Malaria, spread by Anopheles mosquitoes, is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. In Kenya, malaria remains a major health challenge, particularly for children under the age of five years.

An international team of geoscientists led by a volcanologist at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has discovered that, contrary to present scientific understanding, ancient volcanoes continued to spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from deep within the Earth long past their period of eruptions.

Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO₂) to be absorbed, new research shows.
