Current measurements and instruments do not take into account the effect that microplastics have on snow and ice, potentially overestimating the role of black carbon.

As melting glaciers alter ecosystems in and around Antarctica, scientists study how sea squirts react.

Ice is melting more rapidly than previously thought, according to two new studies, which examine some of the specific causes.

As climate change continues to alter the Earth’s complex environmental systems, unfamiliar risks will emerge. A recent study suggests a few tools to reduce uncertainty in disaster preparation.
