Seasonal floods on the Niger River reached unusual heights in Mali this year.

A few wet years have helped reverse a decades-long decline in water levels on one of the world’s most cherished lakes.

The tube fishway allows fish to glide past dam walls, weirs and other river barriers, with the potential to revitalise Australia’s ailing freshwater fish stocks.

The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 – a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s estimate of between now and 2052.

Climate warming is linked to a widening interval between leaf unfolding and flowering in European trees, with implications for tree fitness and the wider environment, according to new research published in the British Ecological Society’s Journal of Ecology.

The CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system can help scientists understand, and possibly improve, how corals respond to the environmental stresses of climate change.

Around 120 million years ago, the earth experienced an extreme environmental disruption that choked oxygen from its oceans.

The yield and quality of many crops benefit from pollination, but it isn’t just honey bees that do this work: bumble bees also have a role.

Nanoflares are tiny eruptions on the Sun, one-billionth the size of normal solar flares. Eugene Parker – of Parker Solar Probe fame – first predicted them in 1972 to solve a major puzzle: the coronal heating problem.
