Freshwater ecosystems account for half of global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. 

Tidal flats, also known as mud flats, make up coastal wetlands that protect against destructive powers from the ocean such as waves, tsunamis and hurricanes. 

Analysis of geographic and demographic patterns reported in The Journal of Climate Change and Health uncovered 18-year increase in heat related illness and suggests that targeted interventions can ease the health consequences of extreme weather.

No stranger to hot weather, the region is facing more humid heat waves that test the adaptability of its residents. 

An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) was deployed from the RRS Sir David Attenborough (SDA) for the first time last week.

A shipping container that can test passive cooling systems could help researchers and builders find carbon-free ways to keep people cool in extreme temperatures.

The upcoming bushfire season in Australia may be bad, but future years pose a more significant threat, says a UNSW bushfire expert.

The specialist in climate inequality, a researcher in Oxford’s Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI), is author of the ground-breaking study, which is published in Nature Human Behaviour.

Applying ground-up silicate rock to Midwestern farm fields can capture significant amounts of carbon dioxide and prevent it from accumulating in the atmosphere, according to a new study that successfully quantified those climate benefits for the first time.

Up to twice the amount of subglacial water that was originally predicted might be draining into the ocean – potentially increasing glacial melt, sea level rise, and biological disturbances.
