Blue Reflections of Time
Using 45 Meyer’s spruce samples, researchers in North China traced a 281-year temperature record, highlighting blue light reflection’s crucial role in unveiling climate changes and linking global patterns.
When the Sky Gathers Tears
Around the equator, heavy rainfalls and flooding impact millions. Research shows that global warming could intensify these events, challenging traditional forecasting methods.
The Fevered Climate
Analysing ancient climate records reveals how environmental changes and diseases shaped societies across the Roman Empire, emphasising the need for health considerations in modern climate assessments.
Retreating Futures
New satellite data and machine learning models predicts a third of European Alps’ glaciers will retreat by 2050.
Driven by Drought
Research on Africa from 1992-2013 shows droughts influence human migration towards water sources or cities, driven by environmental, political, and socio-economic factors.
Dissolving Depths
Increased carbon emissions are acidifying oceans, weakening the shells of plankton and marine life, threatening ecosystems.
Death’s Dirty Hands
Fine particle air pollution poses a far greater cardiovascular death risk for Black Americans than White, despite recent reductions.
The Heat is On
Extreme heatwaves caused by climate change are becoming more frequent and severe, necessitating urgent action to mitigate emissions and help vulnerable populations adapt.
