Research into precise details of Earth's energy budget is vital for understanding how the planet's climate may be changing, as well as variabilities in solar energy output.

A Texas A&M-Galveston project from the Marine Engineering Technology Department will show students how to build solar panels and wind turbines.

Scientists have used fibre-optic sensing to obtain the most detailed measurements of ice properties ever taken on the Greenland Ice Sheet.

The field photos show the hard, rough country that some glaciers slide over: rocky domes and bumps in granite, rocky steps and depressions in limestone. The glacier beds dwarf the researchers and their instruments.

Climate change is exacerbating problems like habitat loss and temperatures swings that have already pushed many animal species to the brink.

Humans in the 21st century spend most of their time indoors, but the air we breathe inside buildings is not regulated to the same degree as the food we eat and the water we drink. 

Substantial cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions could be achieved by raising water levels in agricultural peatlands, according to a new study.

Astronomers have identified the molecule methanol in the ‘warm zones’ of a protoplanetary disk circling a star about 360 light years from Earth.

The first frost of autumn may be grim for gardeners but the latest evidence reveals it is a profound event in the life of plants.

The acidity of the atmosphere is increasingly determined by carbon dioxide and organic acids such as formic acid.
