A large region of unusually hot rock deep beneath the Appalachian Mountains in the United States could be linked to Greenland and North America splitting apart 80 million years ago, according to new research led by Read More
Heat waves aren’t just getting worse on land, the majority of the world’s oceans are experiencing record-breaking temperatures too. These marine heat waves are getting longer, more intense and reaching farther than ever Read More
Heat waves are becoming more frequent around the world. And while rising temperatures caused by greenhouse gas emissions are part of the problem, the declining levels of aerosols—the small particles that make up smog Read More
Climate change intensifies marine heat waves, threatening ocean biodiversity and
The long-term impacts of marine heat waves on biodiversity and management strategies required to mitigate further damage were the focus of a review by researchers at The University of Western Australia. Summary A University of Read More
A new study suggests that, under realistic scenarios of high emissions and socioeconomic development, annual heat-related deaths in the U.K. could rise to about 50 times current rates by the 2070s, but that climate change Read More
Ongoing research into the effect of environmental change on the buzzing of bees reveals that high temperatures and exposure to heavy metals reduces the frequency (and audible pitch) of non-flight wing vibrations, which could have Read More
Lakes are essential to ecosystems, providing freshwater, supporting biodiversity and offering crucial habitat for fish and other aquatic species. Summary Lakes are vital ecosystem components, acting as freshwater reservoirs and biodiversity hotspots. They provide critical Read More
