Irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets may be imminent if global temperature change cannot be stabilized below 1.8°C.

A study published in Nature Communications by an international team of scientists shows that an irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ic...

Reaching net zero carbon emissions before 2060 is critical to avoid this catastrophe

Recent research carried out by an international group of researchers reveals that irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, as well as a related rapid acceleration of sea level rise, could be inevitable if the global temperature change is not stabilized below 1.8 °C relative to preindustrial levels.

Unless the world meets the 1.5 Celsius target, the rise in ocean levels could accelerate for hundreds of years.

Scientists revealed that a mechanism, known as nutrient uptake plasticity, allows marine algae to adapt and cope with nutrient-poor ocean conditions.

As hurricanes occur, we expect more of them to be major storms. Hurricane Ian and other recent storms, including the 2020 Atlantic season, provide a picture of what that can look like.

Millions of international viewers tuned up to watch the reality TV show “Ice Road Truckers,” in which professional truck drivers were supposed to perform terrifying tasks like moving heavy freight across frozen lakes in the distant Arctic.

A new study shows that activities such as transport and skating on frozen lakes may no longer be safe as global warming continues.

A Category 5 typhoon is heading towards a nuclear plant in South Korea, leading to the plant decreasing its reactor run rates to 30 percent.
