More than one quarter of London's parks, playground, and open spaces exceed international safety limits for air quality.
The researchers warn this could potentially put thousands of children and vulnerable Londoners at risk.
In an analysis of the annual air quality levels in green spaces...
Upside-down "rivers" of warm ocean water are eroding the fractured edges of thick, floating Antarctic ice shelves from below, helping to create conditions that lead to ice-shelf breakup and sea-level rise, according to a new study.
The findings, published today...
Species have few good options when it comes to surviving climate change—they can genetically adapt to new conditions, shift their ranges, or both.
But new research in PNAS indicates that conflicts between species as they adapt and shift ranges could lead experts...
We know that our planet has experienced warmer periods in the past, during the Pliocene geological epoch around three million years ago.
Our research, published today, shows that up to one third of Antarctica's ice sheet melted during this period,...
The journal Nature retracted a study published last year that found oceans were warming at an alarming rate due to climate change.
The prestigious scientific journal issued the formal notice this week for the paper published Oct. 31, 2018, by researchers at the...
Hurricane Dorian is the latest example of a frightening trend. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, more severe and more widespread as a consequence of climate change. New research from Washington University in St. Louis provides important new...
An international team of scientists has figured out how to capture heat and turn it into electricity.
The discovery, published last week in the journal Science Advances, could create more efficient energy generation from heat in things like car exhaust, interplanetary...
Ocean-based actions have greater potential to fill in gaps in climate change mitigation than previously appreciated, an Oregon State University scientist and two co-authors explain in a paper published today in Science.
The article by OSU distinguished professor Jane Lubchenco and...
A key question for climate scientists in recent years has been whether the Atlantic Ocean's main circulation system is slowing down, a development that could have dramatic consequences for Europe and other parts of the Atlantic rim. But a...
A key theory that attributes the climate evolution of the Earth to the breakdown of Himalayan rocks may not explain the cooling over the past 15 million years, according to a Rutgers-led study.
The study in the journal Nature Geoscience could shed...
Surface meltwater draining through the ice and beneath Antarctic glaciers is causing sudden and rapid accelerations in their flow towards the sea, according to new research.
This is the first time scientists have found that melting on the surface impacts...
