Desert kingdom depends on oil dollars but its people already face a climate ‘at the verge of livability’. What’s going on?

The Pacific Decadal Oscillation describes the most important pattern of low-frequency climate variability in the North Pacific. An analysis of sea surface temperatures reveals that, since 2014, the Pa...

Boron isotopes in cold-water corals reveal that acidification in the California Current and Salish Sea has outpaced atmospheric CO2 over the industrial era, posing a threat to ecosystems of ecological...

Natural patterns of climate variability, such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), strongly influence regional climate. This study shows that anthropogenic warming now has greater influence than ...

Stony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from...

The cryosphere remains one of the least-understood microbial ecosystems on Earth, but as climate change accelerates, cryosphere microbial communities will have an increasingly prominent role in Earth’...

There is a lot of things I agree with in Bill Gates’ new memo on climate change, but I think it fundamentally sets up a false dichotomy.

Decision is bitter blow to Brazil ahead of fund’s launch at Cop30 – and an embarrassment to Prince William

The European Union is considering a brake clause to weaken its 2040 climate target in the future, if it becomes clear countries' forests are not absorbing enough CO2 emissions to meet the goal, a draft EU compromise proposal showed.

Sheffield Hallam University apologises to Professor Laura Murphy for restricting her academic freedom.

Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?

With rising travel demand and the need to tackle both the air quality and climate change challenges caused by fossil fuel vehicles, there is an urgent need to transition to cleaner and more sustainabl...

New research has found that even Australia's most protected marine habitats are likely to suffer extreme ocean impacts by 2040, increasing threats to thousands of plant and animal species.

It has been argued that air temperatures over mountain glaciers are decoupled from surrounding warming, which could slow down melting. Here the authors show that this effect will weaken with future gl...

‘Trumped-up’ charges spark diplomatic row as scientists express fears for health of 70-year-old Leonid Pshenichnov

Following a record-breaking marine heatwave in 2023 Florida's critical staghorn and elkhorn corals have been left 'functionally extinct.'

LA wildfires and storms this year cost $101bn, new study by non-profit resurrecting work axed by Trump says

Concurrent intensification of Bering Strait Inflow and associated stronger poleward heat caused a millennial-scale sea ice retreat in the Arctic, known as the ‘Pacificization’ effect, according to ana...

Stalagmites are isolated columns of calcium carbonate growing on a cave floor; their growth is driven by the constant dripping of supersaturated so...

NEW YORK, NY, October 21, 2025 – A new study led by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) finds that artificial intelligence (AI) models are providing more accurate and more hopeful predictions for ...

Lithium isotope records in marine carbonates and siliciclastic rocks reveal that shifts in continental weathering regime and source reduced ocean environmental stress and biodiversity loss during the ...

Abstract. An increase in riverine nutrient loads has generally been recognized as the primary cause of coastal deoxygenation, whereas the role of other riverine factors, especially suspended…

Damages such as crevasses or cracks can be early indicators of ice shelf weakening. Here, the authors quantify changes in damage structures in Antarctic ice sheets, which show sensitivity to warming

Recurring deep ocean oxygen minimum events occur in the Pacific Southern Ocean during the warm climate interval Marine Isotope Stage 11. They are linked with perturbed Antarctic Bottom Water formation...
