Groundwater was once thought to buffer streams from warming, but an inexpensive new technique shows streams fed by shallow groundwater may be just as susceptible as those without.
Experts reviewed the literature on climate change and gender in developing countries, and found many unhelpful, outdated assumptions are still kicking around.
The global pandemic caused an unprecedented drop in global emissions. But this is likely to rebound as economies start to recover.
New research challenges the idea that Laki caused years of extreme weather in Scotland and has implications for how we deal with sudden, forced climate change today.
In northwest Mexico, biologists are building a network of radio towers to track how individual migratory birds move among important wetland areas.
Tackling climate change involves changes in behaviour that would significantly improve people’s general health — and save money.
Retreat, re-liberalisation, or business as usual.
There will be more weather-driven disasters like February’s deep freeze in Texas, and energy planners aren’t prepared.
We are only just beginning to understand the importance of this deep and hidden area of the inter-reef that supports a rich diversity of marine life.
Contrary to popular belief, falling natural gas prices didn’t significantly accelerate coal power plant retirements. Here’s what did.
The Mediterranean region, with its biodiversity, climate, demographics, and economic activities such as tourism, agriculture and fisheries, is particularly vulnerable to environmental risks.
Plastic has become a major part of the carbon cycle, a discovery that has implications for how we tackle climate change.
Iconic ecosystems, from coral reefs to Tasmania’s ancient forests, are collapsing across the continent and into Antarctica. It’s not too late to act — in fact, our lives depend on it.
The electricity sector is expected to play a key role in Canada’s push to net-zero emissions. Enhancing long-distance transmission can be lower the cost of providing clean and reliable electricity.
While Australia doesn’t generally experience such extreme winter temperatures, our electricity systems are still vulnerable to climate change, extreme weather and power outages.
New Zealand has put just over half of its NZ$50 billion pandemic stimulus towards clean energy, but several fossil fuel powered projects will slow down the country’s shift to a low-emissions economy.
The weather-related impacts of climate change will increasingly threaten critical infrastructure in the future. Shifting electricity grids towards microgrids could help.
In Australia and around the world, failures in flood warnings can have devastating effects. But ‘humanitarian engineering’ may have the answer.
The unprecedented intensity of two summers of bushfires, first in the east and then in the west, offered harsh lessons for Australians. One is that some settlements must retreat from high-risk areas.
