Field notes from New Orleans, where I and 20,000 colleagues learned that Trump intends to destroy the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

The moss beds in Antarctica are like miniature forests – they create their own climate.

Scientists say there is emerging evidence of abrupt and potentially unstoppable changes in the Antarctic environment, heightening the risk of significant sea level rise and the extinction of species.

Antarctic wildlife is under pressure from environmental changes and human activity, but how well is Antarctica's coastal biota being monitored? While over half of the long-term monitoring studies spa....

Healthy fungal networks help trees and plants grow, making them key to successful reforestation. The only problem? Almost nothing is known about this subterranean ecology

Lead the research and lead the way on Antarctica but as the US cuts environmental funding questions are raised about the future of science there.

Landmark opinion says those that fail to prevent climate harm could be liable for compensation and restitution

Cutting data climate collection – as the Trump administration is now trying to do – is like breaking a thermometer to avoid knowing you’ve got a fever.

While rocket launches are increasing dramatically every year, it is still possible to mitigate any harmful effects on the ozone layer.

The difficulty of accurately detecting lichens in Antarctic landscapes, due to their fine-scale spatial patterns and low spectral contrast, drives the…

Emperor penguin populations are falling much faster than expected. Ice is melting beneath their chicks before they’re ready.

In a Queensland river where natural gas seeps up through the water, many living creatures have come to depend on it for their carbon.

Glaciers are retreating with global climate warming, which threatens glacier specialists and the functions and stability of glaciers and glacially influenced ecosystems. This Review describes the impa...

The election campaign must prioritise climate policy to ensure the next government drives the transition to a clean economy in a world upended by Donald Trump.

Decades of terrestrial water-storage changes reveal an irreversible decline in soil moisture

Over two growing seasons, a chloroplast localized synthetic glycolate metabolic pathway expressed in potato, enhanced tuber biomass. We confirmed that this yield benefit did not come at the cost of t...
