Ikaite is a special form of limestone that often forms in very cold seawater, in the polar oceans. A study led by Stockholm University researchers suggests that this highly unknown mineral plays an important role in the ocean's uptake of carbon dioxide.

The Line Fire in Southern California is giving rise to massive billowing “fire clouds.”

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have designed an energy-efficient device that produces drinking water from seawater using an evaporation process driven largely by the sun.

For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface.

Heavy and localized rainfall over urban areas could lead to increased flooding in cities.

Puffy, white convective clouds popped up in the hills around Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego throughout the afternoon of September 9, 2024. 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

Integrating artificial intelligence into today’s environmental control systems could reduce energy consumption for indoor agriculture by 25% – potentially helping to feed the world as its population rises, Cornell engineers have found.

In a cutting-edge study published in the prestigious journal "Energy & Environmental Science", researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have introduced a novel method for converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethanol, a sustainable fuel. 

Methane concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere increased at record speed over the past five years.
