A summit on the state of global oceans concludes Friday with nations having tested the waters on deep-sea mining and making strides toward protecting unpoliced reaches of the high seas.This post was originally published on […]

A research team led by Prof. Xie Pinhua from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a novel prediction model for surface ozone concentration in the North China […]

Methane damages the climate—in the first 20 years after it is released, it is around 80 times more harmful than CO₂. At the same time, the short-lived greenhouse gas offers enormous potential for climate mitigation, […]

An instrument built at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to map minerals on Earth is now revealing clues about water quality. A recent study found that EMIT (Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation) was able to […]

Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought unless society acts, according to a new study published in […]

Atmospheric rivers are responsible for most flooding on the West Coast of the U.S., but they also bring much-needed moisture to the region. The size of these storms doesn’t always translate to flood risk, however, […]

On the road to “net zero,” governments should use a separate target to control the ramp-up of atmospheric carbon removals, independently of emission reductions. Setting a political target for the volume of such planetary waste […]

A University of Oxford-led team of researchers have published a set of principles which could help countries and corporates engage with Article 6—the aspect of the Paris Agreement which allows countries and corporations to engage […]
