On the massive sheets of ice that stretch across Greenland and Antarctica, the temperature is so low that not even the summer sun can melt the snow deposited onto them.

The shelf’s disintegration in March 2022 has reshaped a landscape where coastal glacial ice was once thought to be stable.

The Colorado State Forest Service is leading the three-phase wildfire mitigation effort in the Douglas County wildland-urban interface.

Research led by Oregon State University shows that fires are more likely to burn their way into national forests than out of them.

They found that greenhouse gas emissions from streams and wetlands at Coweeta could be highly variable.

There is much more carbon stored in Earth’s soil than in its atmosphere. 

The Arctic is rapidly losing sea ice, and less ice means more open water, and more open water means more gas and aerosol emissions from the ocean into the air, warming the atmosphere and making it cloudier.

A £5m project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) to investigate the complex changes seen in sea ice around the Antarctic begins this month (March 2022) as the sea ice extent around the continent drops to a record low level.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the ice cover around Antarctica gradually expands from March to October each year.

A third of bird species in Chicago are laying their eggs a month earlier than they did 100 years ago, according to a new study that compares recent observations with data from century-old eggs.
