Model simulations under an abrupt 4x CO2 scenario reveal that initially enhanced gradients in sea surface temperature under ...

Through the top kilometer of sedimentary basins, biosignatures track microbial cells, permeability, and water inputs. Below that, permeability limits microbial presence despite temperatures conducive ...

Kern County has more cases of valley fever and more fossil fuel wells than anywhere else in California. A new study suggests ...

High-resolution optical observations of aurorae show fluctuations and structuring that could be explained by interactions ...

To put a price tag on climate change, some approaches focus on whether it made an event more likely, whereas others focus on whether it made an event more severe and damaging. A new study examines the ...

Changes in river chemistry in the northwestern North American Arctic reflect increased acid rock drainage associated with permafrost thaw, an unexpected consequence of Arctic warming.

A global comparison of microbial magnetic minerals unlocks a new tool for glimpsing the future of oxygen in Earth’s changing oceans.

Arctic landscapes with spots of disconnected permafrost erode faster than those with continuous permafrost, a new study finds ...

Plants and soils constantly exchange carbon dioxide (CO 2) with the atmosphere. Extreme climate events such as droughts, heatwaves, floods, and wildfires can strongly disrupt this exchange. For ...
