A recent study involving Kansas State University researchers finds that in the coming decades at least one-quarter of the world's wheat production will be lost to extreme weather from climate change if no adaptive measures are taken.

Trace elements encased in mountaintop ice predate industrial revolution by more than 200 years.

UCLA study finds that regulating body temperature may be a key factor

A Rutgers historian’s study of the Black Death also sheds light on threats such as climate change.

As the Earth warms and glaciers all over the world begin to melt, researchers and public policy experts have focused largely on how all of that extra water will contribute to sea level rise.

New data and assessments suggest that resilience of the planet is now at risk.

For every degree Celsius that the temperature increases, the world loses 6 percent of its wheat crop, according to a new global study led by a University of Florida (UF) scientist. That’s one fourth of the annual global wheat trade, which reached 147 million tons in 2013.

On their most recent trip to study seeps, Indiana State University scientists made a big discovery regarding a tiny creature that lives in both seep and non-seep habitats.

In 2014, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) built on a 62-year tradition of translating basic science into technologies that ensure national security, address pressing real world problems and expand the boundaries of fundamental science.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second-largest body of ice on Earth. It covers an area about five times the size of New York State and Kansas combined, and if it melts completely, oceans could rise by 20 feet. Coastal communities from Florida to Bangladesh would suffer extensive damage.
