A recent NOAA-led study found the speed of movement of tropical cyclones, including hurricanes, has been slowing in recent decades, with more storms lumbering slowly over land and potentially causing more flooding.

Drenching rains and historic flooding last month ended with May 2019 as the second-wettest month in the U.S. that contributed to a record-wet, 12-month period.

Something as simple as chatting with your neighbours about their new energy-efficient home renovations can affect wider climate change predictions, a new University of Guelph study reveals.

The 2017 Northern Plains drought hit hard and without warning, desiccating pastures, rangelands and wheat, sparking massive wildfires, and causing widespread livestock sell-offs across the Dakotas, northeastern Montana and the Canadian Prairies.

The frequency of downpours of heavy rain—which can lead to flash floods, devastation, and outbreaks of waterborne disease—has increased across the globe in the past 50 years.

A new analysis published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment shows that the world’s protected areas (PAs) are experiencing major shortfalls in staffing and resources and are therefore failing on a massive scale to safeguard wildlife.

NASA’s Aqua satellite used infrared light to analyze the strength of storms in the developing low pressure area designated as System 91L as it moved through the Gulf of Campeche just  north of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are instrumental in increasing exposure to extreme temperatures.

Lake Garda has not yet revealed all of its secrets. This attractive tourist destination, unique for its physical and environmental characteristics, is also a case study for several international research teams.

System 91L is an area of tropical low pressure located in the Bay of Campeche. On June 3, when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed the western Gulf of Mexico, it captured an image of the storm that showed its extensive reach.
