New Berkeley Lab model quantifies interactions between soil microbes and their surroundings.

The rapidly melting ice sheets on the coast of West Antarctica are a potential major contributor to rising ocean levels worldwide. Although warm water near the coast is thought to be the main factor causing the ice to melt, the process by which this water ends up near the cold continent is not well understood.

Crop producers and scientists hold deeply different views on climate change and its possible causes

Human-caused climate change, ocean acidification and species extinctions may eventually threaten the collapse of civilization, according to some scientists, while other people argue that for political or economic reasons we should allow industrial development to continue without restrictions.

Comprehensive analysis shows that natural gas could displace both coal and low-emitting energy sources over the long term.

Using satellite observations and a large suite of climate models, Lawrence Livermore scientists have found that long-term ocean warming in the upper 700 meters of Southern Hemisphere oceans has likely been underestimated.

The search for 3D printing filament may help lift some of the world’s most destitute people from poverty while cleaning up a major blight on the earth and its oceans: plastic trash

Healthier diets and reducing food waste are part of a combination of solutions needed to ensure food security and avoid dangerous climate change, say the team behind a new study. 

The average temperature on Earth has barely risen over the past 16 years. ETH researchers have now found out why. And they believe that global warming is likely to continue again soon.

The size and age of plants has more of an impact on their productivity than temperature and precipitation, University of Arizona researchers have discovered.

Green housing traits such as better ventilation and integrated pest management can dramatically improve residents’ health.
