New research from the University of Exeter, published in Nature Food, has found it will be economically unsustainable by 2080 for many areas across Latin America and the Caribbean to continue growing bananas for export, because of rising temperatures caused by climate change.
A type of Artificial Intelligence that mimics the functioning of the human brain could represent a powerful solution in automatically detecting wildfires, plummeting the time needed to mitigate their devastating effects, a new study finds.
As climate change accelerates, finding effective solutions that deliver outsized impact becomes increasingly crucial. Now, new research from Chapman University shows that a tiny marine mollusk native to the U.S. West Coast may hold the key to more effective coastal restoration.
Britain’s wealthiest individuals are responsible for a disproportionate share of carbon emissions—but new research from the University of Bath suggests they also hold the key to accelerating climate action.
An MIT-led study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.
Using two species of flies from different climates — one from the cool, high-altitude forests of Northern California, the other hailing from the hot, dry deserts of the Southwest — Northwestern scientists discovered remarkable differences in the way each processes external temperature.
