Exposure to hot and dry conditions can damage the DNA of nestling birds in their first few days of life – meaning they age earlier and produce less offspring.

Protecting green turtles is difficult because they perform some of the longest migrations known in the animal kingdom.
This technology, popular when automobiles first caught on, had a short resurgence in the 1970s.
Other presidents used the Defense Production Act to boost fossil fuel supplies. Biden is now using it to boost clean energy. But just ramping up production isn’t enough to succeed.
Already critically endangered, the southern bent-wing bat is still declining in a drying climate. If we don’t step in, it will likely be extinct within three generations of bat.
Renewed interest in nuclear energy will go nowhere unless we talk about carbon pricing. As energy minister Chris Bowen points out, nuclear is extremely expensive.
Companies are buying renewable energy certificates to meet their emissions targets, but new research suggests that the bulk of these purchases do not lead to actual emission reductions.
Thanks to humans, the concentration of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now 50% higher than before the industrial era. These gases are raising Earth’s temperature.
As nations pledge to preserve swaths of ocean within their territorial waters, a marine scientist explains why some marine protected areas shelter ocean life more effectively than others.
The environmental movement is now tightly woven into communities across Australia and its demands are clear. Politicians ignore it at their peril.
Australia’s Traditional Owners have survived climate shifts before. Bringing traditional ecological knowledge in contact with western climate scientists could help First Nations survive this one.
Much of the world’s seagrass is highly threatened through human actions such as coastal degradation, as well as impacts of climate change.
Only 13% of US solar industry jobs are currently in manufacturing. The Biden administration hopes the sector will grow fast, but that might not be so simple.
Thwaites Glacier’s ice shelf appears to be splintering, and scientists fear it could give way in the next few years. A polar scientist takes us on a tour under the ice to explain the forces at work.
The collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation would profoundly alter the anatomy of the world’s oceans and climate. New research explores the consequences.
The impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will pass, but the impacts of climate change will not.
For the first time, we calculated Australia’s share of planetary environmental boundaries and found we’ve shot past three already.
Can one department adequately tackle climate change, energy, the environment and water? It’s unlikely.
We calculate that this project will add about 41 megatonnes per year to Australia’s national emissions from around 2030.
We need a radical rethink of water resource planning. Strategies should include reusing water and moving water physically to water-scarce areas.
