For centuries, sailors who had been all over the world knew where the most fearsome storms of all lay in wait: the Southern Hemisphere.

Researchers with the Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute have simulated how climate change will affect the distribution of two leading allergens – oak and ragweed pollens – across the contiguous United States.

Rondaxe Lake in Herkimer County, New York, represents classic Adirondack Park waters.

Major ice streams can shut down, shifting rapid ice transport to other parts of the ice sheet, within a few thousand years. 

A forest’s resilience, or ability to absorb environmental disturbances, has long been thought to be a boost for its odds of survival against the looming threat of climate change.

Most of California’s population and its largest airports are located along the Pacific coastline, which is increasingly impacted by storm surges, sea level rise, and erosion due to climate change. 

An almost limitless supply of fresh water exists in the form of water vapor above Earth’s oceans, yet remains untapped, researchers said. 

A new study shows how plants “encode” specific chemistries of their lignin to grow tall and sustain climate changes: each plant cell uses different combinations of the enzymes LACCASEs to create specific lignin chemistries. 

Methane mitigation has been identified as essential for addressing climate change. 

Health benefits of using wind energy instead of fossil fuels could quadruple if the most polluting power plants are selected for dialing down, new study finds.
