For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

Scientists call for a major acceleration in coral assisted evolution research to help reefs cope with rapidly warming oceans.

We issues alerts in many instances when the Climate Shift Index identifies a notable extreme weather event around the world that was made more likely by human-caused climate change. Climate Matters is ...

Science is nuanced. This basic truth certainly holds for the field of atmospheric science, where the complexities of the airy environment are investigated. The climate science subdiscipline explores ...

The Winter Olympic Games, this year hosted in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, have increasingly had to rely on human-made snow due to climate change. Shrinking snowpacks, rising temperatures, ...

At first glance, Harvard Forest seems like an ordinary woodland. Oak trees shade the terrain among small shrubs and other trees, mostly maple, birch and beech. Fallen leaves coat the ground below.

Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may trigger a series of geological and biological processes that could ensure the next ice age arrives on time instead of being delayed, researchers say. When ...

There are some scientists whose contributions to the stores of human knowledge are so well-known that they have become household names. I don’t think it’s going too far out on a limb to say that ...

In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...
