A new study reveals how responsive the Greenland ice sheet is to climate change – more so than models predict.

Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study.

A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting of the Greenland ice sheet: it has made them more frequent, more extensive and more intense. 

Scientists are advancing a promising solution to two of the world’s biggest challenges – plastic pollution and clean energy – by transforming waste plastics into valuable fuels using sunlight.

Tiny particles of plastic amassing in the atmosphere may be intensifying warming, according to new study. 

The Pacific Ocean is a giant climate cauldron, with a powerful heat engine that affects storms, fisheries and rainfall patterns half a world away, and scientists are watching closely to see if it’s about to boil over. 

With unprecedented clarity, scientists have directly observed a subduction zone—the collision point where one tectonic plate dives beneath another—actively breaking apart. 

While the world is a big place, humans are making greater and greater demands on the same areas of land. 

Snow cover in the mountains of Greece – an important water source for communities, agriculture and natural ecosystems during the dry summer months – has more than halved over the past four decades, a study has found.

Due to the explosive growth of artificial intelligence, it is estimated that data centers will consume up to 12 percent of total U.S. electricity by 2028, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
