This summer is coming in hot.

The Pacific Ocean covers a third of the planet’s surface, so it’s no surprise that when its vast expanse along the Equator gets stuck in either a warm El Niño or cool La Niña phase, that has globe-spanning consequences.

It’s hotly debated whether coastal wetlands can survive sea-level rise by migrating inland.

Researchers at the University of Oklahoma have found that the warming climate is decreasing microbial diversity, which is essential for soil health.

Children are more likely than adults to suffer health impacts due to environmental impacts.

A new approach of studying the behaviour of surface films covering particles taken directly from the atmosphere has been developed by scientists.

Flood frequency analysis is a technique used to estimate flood risk, providing statistics such as the “100-year flood” or “500-year flood” that are critical to infrastructure design, dam safety analysis, and flood mapping in flood-prone areas.

Many firms have set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to comply with the Paris Agreement.

The new study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates how changes in temperature and plate tectonics, where the positions of Earth’s continents were in very different positions than today, have determined the distribution of corals through the ages.

Last June, Aaron Flansburg felt the temperature spike and knew what that meant for his canola crop.
