"China's Venice of the Stone Age": The Liangzhu excavation site in eastern China is one of the most significant testimonies of Chinese civilisation. 

he Arctic Ocean has been getting warmer since the beginning of the 20th century – decades earlier than records suggest – due to warmer water flowing into the delicate polar ecosystem from the Atlantic Ocean.

As autumn inches toward winter, seasonal changes emerge across the Northern Hemisphere. In mid-September 2021, vegetation on northeast Siberia’s Cape Navarin had already turned from green to brown, and snow covered some of the higher elevations.

Earthquakes and extreme rainfall can lead to a six-fold increase in the rates of rainfall-triggered landslides occurring during Nepal’s monsoon season, according to new research.

Coastal marshes that have been invaded by feral hogs recover from disturbances up to three times slower than non-invaded marshes and are far less resilient to sea-level rise, extreme drought and other impacts of climate change, a new study led by scientists at Duke University and the University of Massachusetts Boston (UMB) finds.

High-resolution simulations of ocean circulations 34 million years ago are shedding a new light on the 50-year-old question about how and why the Antarctic ice sheets formed.

The paper, published today, reveals that providing these services for free could reduce home energy emissions by 13.4%, and motor fuel emissions by 23.8%.

The expertise of a Huddersfield researcher has been sought out to assist an international research project which aims to unlock keys to climate change hidden in cave formations known as speleothems located deep in New Zealand’s caves.

It’s a tempting thought: With climate change so difficult to manage and nations unwilling to take decisive action, what if we could mitigate its effects by setting up a kind of chemical umbrella—a layer of sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere that could reflect the sun’s radiation and cool the Earth?

Like a mirage on the horizon, an innovative process for converting a potent greenhouse gas into a food security solution has been stalled by economic uncertainty.
