Scientists have created a new modeling tool to explain how and where trembling aspen forests died as a result of a massive drought.
Scientists have found that methane-generating microbes found in thawing lake sediments may ramp up production of the potent greenhouse gas, which may lead to further warming.
There's something to be said for green roofs. Scientists have found that green roofs with high vegetation density are actually 60 percent more efficient than non-green roofs.
A lobster-like predator once roamed the ancient seas with two pairs of eyes and prominent grasping appendages.
While biofuel is certainly useful and may help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it may also be cutting into our food supply.
It turns out that citizen scientists have helped map the global forests, giving the world more accurate information about forest spread and even whether or not conservation efforts are succeeding.
Scientists have found that coral trout in protected "green zones" are not only bigger and more abundant than those fished in "blue zones," but are also better able to cope with cyclone damage.
It turns out that cold snaps, like the ones that hit the eastern United States over the past few winters, are not connected with climate change.
The brilliantly-colored and iconic Tasmanian swift parrot may be on the verge of extinction.
Scientists may have found a way to clean up algal blooms and turn them into useful products.
When it comes to climate change, disturbed ecosystems may be at risk. Scientists have found that an ecosystem's resistance to changing climatic conditions is reduced when it's exposed to natural or human-caused disturbances.
A lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has announced that a temperature change of two degrees is "utterly inadequate" for protected those most at risk from climate change.
