climate change

Changes in sea level and glacial melt could make earthquakes more likely in the coming years.

Scorching temperatures up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit are expected across the U.S. West Coast in the coming days, as a heat dome hovers over the region.

Earth from space A 2017 satellite photo captured three hurricanes — Katia, Irma and Jose — in a near-perfect line across "hurricane alley" in the Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, the storms, which are named alphabetically, appeared to be in the wrong order.

Unprecedented sea surface temperatures have driven the powerful storm to form early in the year, sowing catastrophe across the Caribbean.

New research suggests that runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet could prevent icebergs from disrupting key ocean currents. But some scientists have cautioned that other factors may be at play.

To assess risk from heat, scientists use the "wet bulb temperature," looking at the point where the human body isn't able to let enough heat out.

The construction of the monument and another beside it more than 4,000 years ago corresponds to a time of bitter cold.

Zombie fires that burn underground over winter may be a case of climate change-driven spontaneous combustion, new research reveals.

The giant viruses might infect algae that are increasing Greenland's ice melt. These viruses could help kill off the damaging algal blooms, helping to reduce some of the impacts of climate change.

Thousands of years ago, a large swath of the Sahara may have been a green grassland ideal for raising cattle.
