Barrier islands protect coastal communities and infrastructure — so what happens if they disappear?

A team of environmental scientists has found that global warming has led to tripling the length of ocean surface heat waves.

A new study warns of a dramatic rise in heatwave exposure across Central Asia's croplands by the end of the 21st century, viewing the combined effects of climate change and shifting patterns of land use as dominant drivers.

An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment used advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes.

Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new forecasting tool called iDust that improves predictions of dust storms, offering significant benefits for solar energy production.

New research shows that saltwater intrusion is on the rise globally. Researchers found in most cases that the salt front is moving further upstream, primarily due to sea level rise and reduced river discharge, making rivers saltier.

Tightly connected communities tend to be more resilient when facing extreme events such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods or wildfires. Research suggests that community cohesion helps boost the community's ability to withstand disasters.

Scientists develop a novel soil-reenforcing material by recycling waste fluids from geothermal energy harvesting plants.
