A new analysis reveals that the majority of the ocean’s surface has experienced extreme heat regularly since 2014.

Many North American tree species have begun to slowly migrate northward in response to global warming, but western and eastern forests are responding differently. A new 51±¬ÁÏ-led study reveals why.

Deforestation and climate change have made parts of the tropics much hotter and are associated with a reduction in the number of hours each day when outdoor labor can be safely performed there, a new study finds.

As more and more hours of the day become too hot for outdoor labor in many tropical and subtropical regions, annual economic losses could reach $1.6 trillion annually.

By distinguishing between lead from modern sources and lead from pre-1970s vehicle exhaust fumes and leaded paint, the new test may be especially useful for assessing the hidden risks of legacy contamination.

A new analysis provides state-by-state projections of the health and economic benefits the U.S. will see by 2030 if we begin reducing fossil-fuel emissions now.

Lori Bennear and Tim Johnson discussed two bills under consideration in Congress and their potential impact on the reduction of carbon emissions and more.

Clouds of smoke and ash from wildfires that ravaged Australia in 2019 and 2020 triggered widespread algal blooms in the Southern Ocean thousands of miles downwind to the east, a new 51±¬ÁÏ-led study by an international team of scientists finds.

Warming waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula have led to declines in the diversity and distribution of the region’s plankton population and its ability to absorb climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

A partnership between 51±¬ÁÏ and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the new concurrent Master of Environmental Management/Master of City and Regional Planning provides training to those seeking to solve environmental issues within an urban context.

Populations of giant pandas in the wild are more fragmented and isolated than they were 30 years ago and many continue to face a high risk of extinction despite recent gains in the species’ overall numbers, a new study by Chinese and American scientists finds.

Decades after federal bans ended widespread use of lead-based paint and gasoline, some urban soils still contain lead levels that exceed safety guidelines for children.

Reducing emissions of methane, a short-lived but super-potent greenhouse gas, is the most cost-effective way to slow the rate of Earth’s warming in coming decades, a new United Nations report finds.

When it comes to storing carbon during prolonged periods of drought and heat, wooded peatlands at low-latitudes have a three- to five-fold advantage over other peatlands. An ancient class of slow-growing fungi is the reason why.

New research reveals western North American forests may be less able than eastern forests to regenerate following large-scale diebacks linked to climate change. Over time, this could dramatically alter the continent’s landscape.
