A young ultrahigh-pressure eclogite records an initially warm then cold subduction path, suggesting that ultrahigh pressure metamorphism does not always indicate cold subduction, according to a thermo...

The Antarctic Ice Sheet is committed to mass loss by 2100, with higher greenhouse gas emissions increasing its contribution to sea-level rise according to observation-constrained projections. Emission...

Microbes store carbon in soils not only through their dead cells but also through the mucus-like substances they release while alive, a previously underappreciated pathway emerging from soil surveys a...

Arctic observations over 2003–2024 identify three aerosol regimes with contrasting responses to warming and cloud condensation nuclei trends. Model projections suggest that the aerosol–cloud feedbacks...

Rapid caldera collapse during submarine eruptions could increase tsunami magnitude, suggests an analysis of the geomorphological evolution of the caldera formed in the climactic eruption of Hunga volc...

Deep-sea temperatures in the Pacific Ocean and North Atlantic Ocean responded differently to the expansion of the Antarctic ice sheet at the Eocene–Oligocene transition, according to benthic foraminif...

Humble hydromagnesite is a hydrated carbonate with outsized importance. Yongjie Lin and Ian Power explore its potential for both carbon sequestration and unlocking the secrets of potential past microb...

Opinions grounded in evidence and expertise play an important role in scientific discourse. The most effective opinion pieces do not simply express a viewpoint — they acknowledge limitations, nuance, ...

Europe’s forests are losing more biomass than previously thought, with disturbances such as drought and pests causing increasingly large losses from some of the oldest forests in Europe. This situatio...

The European Union’s climate goals rely on forests as carbon sinks. Remote sensing data reveal accelerating biomass loss and distinguish the contributions of harvesting and natural disturbances, helpi...

Satellite observations reveal accelerating aboveground biomass loss across Europe’s forests since 2018, increasingly driven by natural disturbances. These trends weaken the forest carbon sink and chal...

The nature of geological dynamics on Venus are fiercely debated — the planet’s steep rift valleys could be evidence of ongoing tectonic activity.

Eukaryotic microorganisms within a subglacial brine-fed system in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are largely of marine origin, a legacy of past incursions of seawater into the area, according to RNA sequencing and metatranscriptomic analyses.

LA JOLLA, California—August 3, 2026—Blood Falls has long been one of Antarctica’s strangest landmarks: a red-stained outflow that spills from...

The bright, red-orange stain on Antarctica’s ice-covered landscape may trace back to ancient oceans

Comparing numerical models of active and inactive rifts on Venus with observations reveals that rift valleys on Venus with wide rift flank uplifts are active (or were recently). These rifts also might...

Countries such as Spain and France can expect fire regimes more like those of California as climate change favours hot, dry conditions, scientists suggest.

Co-occurring atmospheric and river heatwaves have tripled since the 1980s across the USA and Europe, and are projected to become the norm by 2100, according to model simulations.

The towering formations appearing over severe wildfires in France and Oregon loft smoke so high they have global consequences.

Infernos ravaged continental expanses of ferns during mass extinction of land and sea animals.

Forecasters predict that the monster climate pattern will combine with global warming to push global temperatures in 2027 to new heights.

Climate model ensembles suggest tropical cyclones will bring more rain as the world warms, but increases may be smaller than expected. Atmospheric dryness reduces how much rain storms produce, offsett...

Comparisons between thermomechanical models and Venusian rift morphologies indicate that rifts on Venus are still, or were recently, active and may have undergone faster extension than usually assumed...

A sudden rise in aerosols makes clouds more active for about a day. Then the effect fades as the atmosphere adjusts and warms aloft, reducing the contrast that helps clouds grow, according to cloud-re...

Shifting atmospheric circulation patterns over Europe since the 1980s have been the major cause of increasingly severe droughts on the continent, according to nudged circulation climate model simulati...

Most major mass extinctions in Earth history are linked to greenhouse gas emissions causing warmer and drier climates. Research shows these perturbations also led to widespread wildfires and the expan...

Fern savannahs spread rapidly following the collapse of the forest ecosystem during the end-Triassic mass extinction, setting the conditions for widespread wildfires, according to an analysis of the d...

Opposing wet and dry conditions in Central and mainland Southeast Asia over the past millennium were controlled by climate variability over the Pacific and Indian oceans, a pattern likely to become mo...

Krypton and xenon in lunar farside soils are derived from solar wind and suggest deeper penetration because the solar wind is not slowed by Earth’s magnetosphere. This contrasts with the nearside, acc...
