The tornadoes that ripped across the central and southern U.S. late in the evening of December 10, 2021, were notable in many ways.

Researchers will determine the role of climate in extreme events

The iconic tusked whale of the Arctic has a new enemy – noise. 

“Some say the world will end in fire,” wrote Robert Frost a century ago. 

An analysis of pledges made by many of the largest U.S. electric utilities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions suggests that pledged reductions could reduce power sector emissions by a third as compared to 2018 levels. 

Scientists have developed an all-season smart-roof coating that keeps homes warm during the winter and cool during the summer without consuming natural gas or electricity. 

With over a million known species, insects are by far the most diverse group of organisms on Earth, with conservative estimates indicating there are millions more waiting to be found. 

When it comes to climate-friendly behaviour, there is often a gap between what we want and what we actually do. 

The noise created by the Earth’s movements has been used to build up a detailed picture of the geological conditions beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet and the impact on ice flow, in new research led by Swansea University.

To paint a clearer picture of how global climate change will affect Earth's ecosystems, a team of 80 international research scientists set out to complete an unparalleled experiment: forcing the world's only enclosed rainforest – housed in the University of Arizona's Biosphere 2 – through a four-month-long controlled drought and recovery.
