Natural-color imagery from Earth-observing satellites offers a high-tech way to experience Earth's beauty.

Operation IceBridge took off on the first flight of its final polar campaign Thursday, with a route designed to measure the ice in a region of Antarctica the mission had not yet explored.

Studying hurricanes -- such as Hurricane Dorian -- using microwaves allows meteorologists to peer through the cloud tops and into the internal structure of the storm. It allows forecasters to make more accurate predictions and help save lives.

Quantifying and monitoring fires is important for the ongoing study of climate because they have a significant impact on global atmospheric emissions, with biomass burning contributing to the global budgets of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide.

The native Napier grass could hold the key to improving diets, boosting farming yields and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in East Africa.

Scientists gather to discuss practicality and feasibility of systems to reduce the threat of coastal storm damage along NY & NJ coastlines.

Contrary to popular belief, seasonal rains are not the most important factor for starting the growth cycle of plants across Africa.

For the first time, an EPFL-led team of scientists has measured the total amount of CO2 emissions from mountain streams worldwide. 

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Tsukuba, and colleagues in Japan report a promising hydrogen carrier in the form of hydrogen boride nanosheets. 

A UC Riverside-led team has created a chemical to help plants hold onto water, which could stem the tide of massive annual crop losses from drought and help farmers grow food despite a changing climate.
