Extreme heat often follows tropical cyclones, which can complicate disaster recovery even further, researchers have found.

New research presented at COP27 shows that water is much more important in mitigating climate change than previously believed.

The World Health Organization’s most recent estimates (2016) are that over 4.2 million people die prematurely each year due to long-term exposure to fine particulate outdoor air pollution (often referred to as PM2.5,).

A new biodegradable packing foam developed at UBC not only potentially addresses the world’s plastic pollution crisis but also serves as an equal and true partnership example of working with First Nations.

If there’s news about amphibians these days, odds are it’s not going to be good.

The promise for American agriculture is tantalizing: healthier soil, more carbon kept in the ground, less fertilizer runoff, and less need for chemicals.

Below-normal rainfall and above-average temperatures intensified drought conditions, broadening the geographic areas of drought across the U.S. in October 2022.

As climate change worsens water quality and threatens ecosystems, the famous dams of beavers may help lessen the damage.

The eastern Mediterranean Sea, a large basin surrounded by ancient cultural sites, is also a climatology hot spot. 

Artificial intelligence, “building-block” chemistry and a molecule-making machine teamed up to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials research – a finding that could speed innovation and drug discovery as well as make complex chemistry automated and accessible.
