Cities across the world are sinking. Here’s how they might rebound
Affected coastal cities tend to flood more often — a growing threat in this era of continuing sea level rise.

During heat waves, trees spew chemicals that worsen air pollution
New data point to how heat waves and other climate change will make it harder to curb ozone and other types of toxic air pollution — even outside of cities.

See how aerosols fly through Earth’s skies
These small airborne particles may offset one-third of human-caused climate warming. But the cooling influence of aerosols is fading.

Scientists Say: Heat dome
Typically, weather enters an area, storms through, then leaves. Here's what happens when steamy summer air gets stalled.

A secret climate superhero lies beneath our farms
Agriculture contributes to climate change. But changes to how farms manage soil might help remove carbon and other greenhouse gases from the air.

This long-buried glacier ice is at least 770,000 years old
Thanks to climate change, thawing permafrost in the Canadian Arctic has revealed this glacier remnant that could be more than a million years old.
