Almost half of World Heritage sites could lose their glaciers by 2100

Radioactive carbon from nuclear bomb tests found in deep ocean trenches

We may be 140 years away from carbon levels not seen in 56 million years

A new study shows extreme heat events both in the summer and in the winter are increasing across the U.S

Solar flares disrupted radio communications during September 2017 Atlantic hurricane relief effort

Anthropogenic climate change is making night-shining clouds more visible: Study finds an increase in atmospheric methane since the late 1800s has significantly increased the amount of water vapor in the middle atmosphere, making ice crystals larger and noctilucent clouds more visible.

Melting of Arctic mountain glaciers unprecedented in the past 400 years

Scientists find massive reserves of mercury in permafrost

New research shows algae growing on the Greenland ice sheet, the Earth’s second-largest ice sheet, significantly reduce the surface reflectivity of the ice sheet’s bare ice area and contribute more to its melting than dust or black carbon.

A recent study provides new evidence that the icy shell of Jupiter’s moon Europa may have plate tectonics similar to those on Earth

Ozone treaty taking a bite out of US greenhouse gas emissions

It is “extremely unlikely” 2014, 2015 and 2016 would have been the warmest consecutive years on record without the influence of human-caused climate change: Human-caused warming likely led to recent streak of record-breaking temperatures…

A new study combining European ice core data and historical records of the infamous Black Death pandemic of 1349-1353 shows metal mining and smelting have polluted the environment for thousands of years, challenging the widespread belief that pollution began with the Industrial Revolution

Glaciologists have uncovered large valleys in the ocean floor beneath some of the massive glaciers flowing into the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica

Melting ice sheet could release frozen Cold War-era waste: a transition at Camp Century from net accumulation to net ablation is plausible within the next 75 years

A solar storm that jammed radar and radio communications at the height of the Cold War could have led to a disastrous military conflict if not for the U.S

Scientists have found the first evidence of methane-producing microbes living outside of the deep sea

New research suggests that variations in atmospheric circulation are an important driver of Antarctic accumulation but they are not adequately captured in model simulations

Southwest US is sliding into a drier normal: Weather patterns that bring rain are becoming less frequent

New research reveals Europa's mystery dark material could be sea salt

Monster hurricanes reached U.S. Northeast during prehistoric periods of ocean warming

A comprehensive, 21-year analysis of the fastest-melting region of Antarctica has found that the melt rate of glaciers there has tripled during the last decade.
