Every year homes are lost in bushfires. But what if we build our houses to withstand fire?
We’re going to have to adapt to climate change, but some of the options on the table could do more harm than good if they destroy the ecosystems that protect us.
New data analysis shows bushfires have increased by 40% in the past five years.
Constant, complex changes in cities and mine sites are hard to monitor. Drawing on digital aerial photography, it’s now possible to track land-use and vegetation changes in areas as small as 10-20cm.
The Great Barrier Reef might get all the attention, but what about our western coral reefs? Warmer waters and human impacts mean these reefs are in trouble.
Next time you reach for the honey, spare a thought for the other vital insects that pollinate our crops.
Astronomers think they may have found evidence within our galaxy of some of the missing matter thought to make up our universe.
2015 was the world’s hottest year ever by a long shot. But what drove the record temperatures, and what role did climate change play?
The Christmas Day fires that struck the Victorian town of Wye River are an example of how to get emergency responses right.
There’s something about mosquitoes that means they don’t get sick from the infections they carry. So can we turn that function off, genetically?
Bees, wasps and ants – a group known as Hymenoptera – can claim the title of deadliest insects. How did they evolve to be so painful?
From stingers to swans, Australia’s oceans are full of (potentially) deadly wildlife.
How do you balance coal and conservation? New research from Queensland hints at an answer.
When looking for evidence of some of the universe’s mysterious high energy particles, why not enlist the help of our nearest neighbour: the moon.
New elements found in the reactions of nuclear tests during World War II sparked the hunt for additions to the periodic table.
What are some of those food safety myths we’ve long come to believe that aren’t actually true?
The Paris Agreement is an extraordinary achievement. But there is much work to be done to ensure global warming does not exceed dangerous levels.
At the Paris climate talks, the world has signed up to the first truly global treaty to tackle global warming. Our experts react.
Despite robust global economic growth over the past two years, worldwide carbon emissions from fossil fuels grew very little in 2014, and might even fall this year.
