Deforestation and climate change have made parts of the tropics much hotter and are associated with a reduction in the number of hours each day when outdoor labor can be safely performed there, a new study finds.

As more and more hours of the day become too hot for outdoor labor in many tropical and subtropical regions, annual economic losses could reach $1.6 trillion annually.

A new analysis provides state-by-state projections of the health and economic benefits the U.S. will see by 2030 if we begin reducing fossil-fuel emissions now.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû has received a $7.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the risks offshore wind energy development along the East Coast may pose to birds, bats and marine mammals.

Lori Bennear and Tim Johnson discussed two bills under consideration in Congress and their potential impact on the reduction of carbon emissions and more.

Clouds of smoke and ash from wildfires that ravaged Australia in 2019 and 2020 triggered widespread algal blooms in the Southern Ocean thousands of miles downwind to the east, a new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study by an international team of scientists finds.

Warming waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula have led to declines in the diversity and distribution of the region’s plankton population and its ability to absorb climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Populations of giant pandas in the wild are more fragmented and isolated than they were 30 years ago and many continue to face a high risk of extinction despite recent gains in the species’ overall numbers, a new study by Chinese and American scientists finds.

Reducing emissions of methane, a short-lived but super-potent greenhouse gas, is the most cost-effective way to slow the rate of Earth’s warming in coming decades, a new United Nations report finds.

When it comes to storing carbon during prolonged periods of drought and heat, wooded peatlands at low-latitudes have a three- to five-fold advantage over other peatlands. An ancient class of slow-growing fungi is the reason why.

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû researchers have found high levels of toxic heavy metals in coal ash from the Dominican Republic’s largest coal-fired power plant.

New research reveals western North American forests may be less able than eastern forests to regenerate following large-scale diebacks linked to climate change. Over time, this could dramatically alter the continent’s landscape.

Massive power outages in Texas brought on by a historic freeze could be avoided in the future if the state no longer isolates its power grid from other states, among other steps, according to 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû experts.

Groundwater depletion in parts of the High Plains is so extreme that peak grain production in some states has ended and production is now declining, a new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led study by a team of international scientists finds.

Scientists at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû are harnessing the power of big data and geospatial analysis to create new ways to track the effects of climate change on species and food webs.
