The rate of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has reached its highest level in 11 years, according to new satellite data.

An underwater rover called BRUIE is being tested in Antarctica to look for life under the ice.

Accurately predicting carbon emissions from natural systems is vital to the reliability of calculations used to understand the pace of climate change, and the effects of a warmer world.

Agricultural practices and nitrogen-rich fertilizers have significantly increased the amount of nitrous oxide emissions in the atmosphere.

As global and regional warming continues, winter emissions of carbon dioxide from Arctic lands are offsetting what plants absorb in the summer.

Refugee camps built in the Bangladeshi hillside are vulnerable to sudden landslides, so scientists from NASA and Columbia University are looking for solutions to avoid additional land loss.

As blue-green algae proliferates around the world, a University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher cautions that current municipal drinking water monitoring that focuses on a single toxin associated with the cyanobacteria blooms is likely to miss the true public health risks.

The fires that raged across the Brazilian Amazon this summer were not ‘normal’ and large increases in deforestation could explain why, scientists show.

This week, southeast France was hit by a magnitude 5 earthquake with tremors felt between Lyon and Montélimar. The Copernicus Sentinel-1 radar mission has been used to map the way the ground shifted as a result of the quake.

Could Mars ever have supported life? In the Australian Outback, scientists visited the oldest convincing evidence for life on Earth to prepare for their own searches for signs of ancient life on Mars.
