The timing of emissions reductions, even more so than the rate of reduction, will be key to avoiding catastrophic thresholds for ice-melt and sea-level rise, according to a new Cornell study.

A new study found compound drought-heatwave events are rippling farther and lasting through the night, raising risks for southwestern North America.

Solar farms could become important refuges for bumblebees in Britain, a new study reveals - though their benefits only go so far.

On the edge of California’s Monterey Bay, ecologist Matthew Savoca and a team of volunteers sift through sand and seawater for microplastics, one of the planet’s most pervasive forms of pollution.

Obesity has long been acknowledged as a risk factor for a wide range of diseases, but a more precise link between obesity and Alzheimer’s disease has remained a mystery – until now.

University at Albany chemists have created a new high-energy compound that could revolutionize rocket fuel and make space flights more efficient. 

Global sea-level change has now been measured by satellites for more than 30 years, and a comparison with climate projections from the mid-1990s shows that they were remarkably accurate, according to two Tulane University researchers whose findings appear in Earth's Future, an open-access journal published by the American Geophysical Union.

Improved carbon-cement supercapacitors could turn the concrete around us into massive energy storage systems.

A new study led by scientists at the University of Arizona used historical tree-ring data to study a key driver for widespread, extreme summer weather events: locked jet stream wave patterns that are often preceded by winter La Niña conditions in the Pacific.

A University of Arizona research team will receive nearly $2.7 million from the NIH's Common Fund Venture Program to advance next-generation imaging technologies that allow deeper, clearer views inside the body without the need for invasive procedures.
