Amphibians are increasingly vulnerable to global warming, according to new research.

An analysis of changes to global ecosystems has revealed that almost nowhere is untouched by the influence of humanity, with more than 50 per cent of the planet's land mass experiencing "novel" conditions

Communications Earth & Environment - In Alaska, building and road damages due to permafrost thaw hazards could cost 37 to 51 billion US dollars by mid-century under medium and high emission...

Band of water where marine life can survive has reduced in more than a fifth of global ocean between 2003 and 2022

Although half of Earth’s population resides in the wildland-urban interface, human exposure to wildland fires remains unquantified. We show that the population directly exposed to wildland fires increased 40% globally from 2002 to 2021 despite a 26% ...

"No place is spared."

Amplified land-atmosphere coupling has triggered a nonlinear increase in compound drought-heatwave events led by heatwaves.

Researchers find ‘alarming’ effect on fertility across global species from simultaneous exposures Simultaneous exposure to toxic chemicals and climate change’s impacts likely generates an additive or synergistic effect that increases reproductive harm, and…

Sustained deoxygenation in global rivers primarily results from climate warming.

Climate and geopolitical shocks – from El Niño, global heating or wars – hit a food system which already magnifies environmental and social vulnerabilities.

The relative decline of Antarctic SIE from 1998 to 2023 was ∼5× faster for the annual minimum (February) than for the annual maximum (September)

Anomalies of annual phytoplankton Chl-a and 1-year...

The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle by absorbing anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). Yet, it remains uncertain whether this role will persist under future mitigation efforts. Using idealized emission-driven simulations…

They were even more acidic and metallic than water leached from mines.
