Climate change is impacting the world around us. The long-term shift in weather patterns has resulted in hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and the loss of wildlife. It has affected agriculture ...

Climate change will transform US cities into deserts by 2080. Vegetation zones will shift, with grasslands becoming more ...

The vegetation in northern high latitudes was likely dense forest before cooling temperatures transformed it into grassland during the Late Miocene —a shift that further accelerated global cooling.

A new study suggests warming temperatures and increased solar radiation have boosted carbon fixation in tidal wetlands across the country.

However, the researchers stress that this should not be viewed as a positive outcome of climate change, as rising ...

New research is changing how scientists view the ground beneath rugged terrain. A study led by researchers at the University of Oregon shows that hilly and mountainous landscapes store far more ...

Heat waves do more than dry out vegetation that can easily burn. They also play a role in lightning strikes, particularly dry lightning.

A University of Miami study has developed a new approach to evaluate how multiple climate resilience plans work together—or ...

New research reveals that shifts in plant life played a key role in speeding up major climate changes during the late Miocene, a period spanning 11.6 to 5.3 million years ago. During this time, ...
