Ammonia (NH3) is emerging as a promising low-carbon fuel and hydrogen carrier in the quest to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. However, in...
Over the coming decades, reef-building corals will face ever hotter ocean temperatures, yet it remains unknown if their thermal tolerance can keep up with the...
Lakes play a crucial role in providing freshwater and support many essential ecosystem services. In a new study, we found significant water losses in 53% of...
The loss of glaciers affects sea level, water availability, and natural hazards resulting in socioeconomic impacts for communities around the world, even for...
The earliest ecosystems we know of were built entirely by microscopic lifeforms. Similar ecosystems that exist today help us understand the history of life on...
Insects are a key part of the earth’s life support system, making reports of steep declines a great concern. Our study, one of the largest assessments of...
Flood disasters are expected to increase because of the climate change-related sea level rise. While impacts on regional and local scales may vary, mapping...
The common perception of cacti as heat- and drought-loving desert plants causes climate change to be overlooked as a potential threat to their conservation....
Lessons from past warm periods in the Earth's history reveal that climate and atmospheric changes could lead to more intense seasonal rainfall, disturbing...
Better representation of Northern Hemisphere vegetation may resolve a scientific debate over how global temperatures changed during the past 12,000 years. Our...
Several periods in the Earth's history were warmer than today and provide insight into future impacts of global warming. Climate and atmospheric changes can...
Human-induced (anthropogenic) climate change is exposing forests to a growing risk of drought-induced tree mortality. Replacement patterns following drought...
While enthusiasm grows for reforestation as a tool for combatting climate change, we lacked information about how fast or slow new forests across the globe...
Global carbon dioxide emissions increasingly rise with adverse climate impacts. Protection and restoration of land and coastal ecosystems are valuable natural...
Accelerating ocean warming is threatening marine ecosystems, and aquatic animals increasingly suffer from brutal heat waves. A new study reveals that fish’s...
The Earth’s climate is a complex, dynamic system and understanding of how it evolves still poses challenges. In a new study, researchers simplified Earth to a...
About 252 million years ago, more than 95% of marine and 70% of terrestrial species perished within a geological blink of an eye. Our study reveals how Earth’s...
Rapidly rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels are accelerating climate change. Climate knock-on effects in response to the human-induced rise in CO2...
Climate, as characterized by rainfall, has a profound influence on rivers in mountain ranges. While it may seem obvious how heavy rain causes flooding and...
Polar regions – where most global ice sheets are stored – are very sensitive to today’s global warming. As a likely consequence, intense atmospheric rivers –...
Climate change is threatening our communities across the globe, and adaptation is becoming essential. Many adaptation programs mainly invest in building...
When it comes to recycling, not all plastics are equal. While the world still struggles to manage recycling streams for simple plastics like PET, manufacturers...
Today’s drastic global warming is threatening the agriculture of many valuable crops, including winegrapes. We propose a new approach to selecting winegrape...
The COVID-19 pandemic has been dynamically reshaping our lifestyle and society. Despite huge drops in global pollution as people stayed at home, our study...
