In a recent study, researchers identified a "tipping point," around 265 parts per million sodium, where even tiny changes in salinity can set off disproportionately large changes in the plants that live in coastal wetlands.

Many North American tree species have begun to slowly migrate northward in response to global warming, but western and eastern forests are responding differently. A new Duke-led study reveals why.

Climate scientists and activists have warned that global warming due to human-driven greenhouse gas emissions is close to spiraling out of control.

The sprays and cloths that have helped bespectacled mask-wearers clear up foggy lenses throughout the coronavirus pandemic may contain high levels of “forever chemicals,” scientists found.

A 91�������� study nine top rated products contained PFAS, which has been linked to cancer and other health problems.

The anti-fogging sprays and cloths many people use to prevent condensation on their eyeglasses when wearing a mask or face shield may contain high levels of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), a new 91��������-led study finds.

Across the world conservation groups, researchers and volunteers are working to combat the five key drivers of biodiversity loss identified by scientists.

Deforestation and climate change have made parts of the tropics much hotter and are associated with a reduction in the number of hours each day when outdoor labor can be safely performed there, a new study finds.

Could a controversial carbon storage plan help restore degraded lands?

From PFAS to private wells, what North Carolinians should know about the water flowing out of their taps.

As more and more hours of the day become too hot for outdoor labor in many tropical and subtropical regions, annual economic losses could reach $1.6 trillion annually.

Until this year, methane hadn’t received the attention it deserved for being a huge source of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, despite being nearly as much to blame as carbon for overheating the planet.

As this focus on coal has intensified, an international coalition of environmentalists and lawyers has begun a global campaign to make systemic, long-lasting environmental devastation like coal extraction an international crime called “ecocide” before the International Criminal Court.

Outdoor jobs such as agricultural or construction work could become impossible to perform safely on hot afternoons in many parts of the world, NASA-funded study warns.
