Since 1979, the Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the Earth as a whole due to climate change.

Climate-driven heating of seawater is causing a slowdown of deep circulation patterns in the Atlantic and Southern oceans, according to University of California, Irvine Earth system scientists, and if this process continues, the ocean’s ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere will be severely limited, further exacerbating global warming.

An unexpected ancient manufacturing strategy may hold the key to designing concrete that lasts for millennia.

A team of marine scientists studying reefs in the Pacific island of Palau have identified genetic subgroups of a common coral species that exhibit tolerance to the extreme heat associated with marine heatwaves.

As seasoned gardeners know, broccoli heads don’t develop properly and can resemble cauliflower when grown in higher temperatures.

More than a century of preserved fish specimens offer a rare glimpse into long-term trends in parasite populations.

Climate change will reshape ecosystems worldwide through two types of climate events: short-term, extreme events — like a heat wave — and long-term changes, like a shift in ocean currents.

A chemistry collaboration led to a creative way to put carbon dioxide to good – and even healthy – use: by incorporating it, via electrosynthesis, into a series of organic molecules that are vital to pharmaceutical development.

David Rounce has led an international effort to produce new projections of glacier mass loss through the century under different emissions scenarios. 

Global warming is partly due to the vast amount of carbon dioxide that we release, mostly from power generation and industrial processes, such as making steel and cement.
