A collaborative study has found that Greenland’s peripheral glaciers are retreating at an unprecedented rate, with the retreat in the 21st century being twice as…
A study comparing the effectiveness of photovoltaic fields and afforestation in mitigating climate change has revealed that PV fields outperform afforestation, particularly in semiarid regions…
The COP28 climate conference will highlight the role of forests as major carbon ‘sinks,’ with a study revealing their potential to absorb up to 226…
Researchers reveal that North Greenland’s ice shelves have lost over one-third of their volume since 1978, mainly due to rising ocean temperatures. This loss threatens…
A new study by UCL researchers indicates that the Arctic’s rapid warming will lead to the global 2 °C temperature threshold being reached eight years…
Researchers have published a study in Nature Climate Change exploring the potential impact of climate change on brain function. They emphasize the need for further…
Danish researchers have conducted a comprehensive study revealing a dramatic increase in Greenland’s glacier melting over the past 20 years, five times faster than in…
Socioeconomic factors outweigh climate change in influencing global migration patterns, according to a new study using a detailed twenty-year dataset. New research shows that socioeconomic…
A new study reveals the critical role of oceanic salt distribution in regulating global climate, linking historical cooling periods such as the Little Ice Age…
Past global warming events offer insights into natural mechanisms that regulated Earth’s climate, such as rock weathering, which reduced atmospheric carbon dioxide. Today, enhancing rock…
The 2023 MIT Energy Initiative Conference focused on action over debate in climate change mitigation, with advances in technology and distributed energy systems taking center…
New research highlights how learning from historical crises can inform our approach to climate change. By analyzing over 150 past events, researchers have found that…
Extreme heat-related cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. are predicted to rise between 2036 and 2065. The study, supported by the National Institutes of Health, attributes…
A group of international scientists predicts that most of Earth’s near-surface permafrost could vanish by 2100. This conclusion is based on a comparison of current…
Cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. from extreme heat are projected to double or triple by mid-century if greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced. In nationwide…
Rising temperatures in the U.S. predict a surge in cardiovascular deaths, particularly among older and black adults. Researchers recommend community-focused heat mitigation strategies. A new…
A new study delved into the relationship between climate change and human populations in Neolithic Europe. Analyzing archaeological and geological data from Central European regions,…
A study from UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography indicates that meltwater flowing beneath Antarctic glaciers accelerates their ice loss. This effect, termed subglacial…
Scientists from UC Davis and Cornell University have discovered that applying crushed volcanic rock to croplands can store carbon in soil, even in drought-prone regions…
