The story behind our latest paper published in Communications Earth & Environment: "Irreversible climate changes driven by degree-years of temperature overshoot"

This chilly patch of ocean is likely a result of a vital ocean current system’s instability

A research team has found that arsenic-contaminated soils around a typical shut-down brick kiln in Anhui, China, show clear shifts in bacterial diversity, community structure, metabolic pathways, and detoxification genes.

A research team has developed biochar composites loaded with dissolved organic matter (DOM) fractions from organic fertilizer to immobilize cadmium (Cd) in contaminated agricultural soil.

A research team found that the way farmland stores soil organic carbon depends not only on how much carbon is added, but also on where that carbon enters the soil and how microbes transform it after tillage.

A research team developed a sulfur-ferrihydrite-modified biochar (SFB) that can simultaneously immobilize cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) in contaminated water and soil.

Drifting sea ice fragments near Alaska’s Saint Lawrence and Nunivak islands and colorful water around the Yukon Delta heralded the approach of the summer solstice. The post Signs of Thaw in the Bering Sea appeared first on NASA Science .

A national heatwave plan has been activated to help people stay cool during the Netherlands’ increasingly hot summers Households in Amsterdam are being urged to hang their curtains outside their windows as health experts recommend simple hacks to moderate the heatwave rolling across the Netherlands, where homes were built for old-fashioned damp and coldish northern European weather. In a viral so…

With this cross-journal Collection, we invite manuscripts that highlight work related to advancing sustainable transport to shape the future of mobility. Submissions are encouraged by 28 March 2027.

Forced to stay home or switch jobs, working mothers are bearing the brunt of the climate crisis as classes go online for weeks or months at a time Outside, the temperature has passed 41C (105.8F). Inside Sakshi Katyal’s city apartment, the air conditioner is blasting but it does little to relieve the stress of balancing housework and helping her five-year-old log in on a laptop to online classes.…

A natural quasi-experiment in Suba, Bogotá, found that more stringent COVID-19 mobility restrictions were associated with larger reductions in PM₁₀ and PM₂.₅ air pollution. The findings suggest targeted traffic and emissions controls could improve urban air quality, although ozone responses were more complex, and the results may not generalize beyond this high-traffic district.

Plastic products are part of daily life for most people. We store food in plastic containers, use cosmetics packaged in plastic, and rely on many medical and household products made from plastic materials. Because these products are so common, few people think about the chemicals they may contain. However, a new study suggests that some […] The post Everyday Plastics May Cause Heart Disease Death…

Mona Khalil died Friday after an Israeli airstrike hit her beachside home two weeks ago. She's credited with creating a conservation movement in southern Lebanon to protect sea turtle nesting grounds.

Town of Eureka evacuated due to risk from Iron fire as officials forecast more hot weather in week ahead Extreme heat and dry, windy conditions are fueling multiple wildfires across the US west, including a massive blaze in Utah that forced the evacuation of a small town, with hot weather in the forecast raising the risk of more blazes in the week ahead. The Iron fire in Utah’s Juab county was fi…

At least three coal plants have been repeatedly cited for violating environmental regulations.

France, like much of the rest of Europe, is in the grips of a severe heat wave as summer begins this week, leading to canceled trains, concerts and sports events.
