Ancient comets are great history-tellers of the Solar system. Our discovery of nitrogenous salts within comets provides hints for how comets might have brought...
Earth’s atmosphere has changed throughout our planet’s history, helping to regulate climate—but finding evidence for changes from billions of years ago remains...
Coral reef islands are widely perceived as being vulnerable to erosion and flooding from sea-level rise and storms. This perception has led to a global debate...
By leveraging spatial coherence in storm surge extremes, we have been able to quantify the likelihood of extreme events occurring along European coastlines...
X-ray and radio observations of the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster revealed a “fossil” of a giant explosion that happened in its center several hundred million years...
Ongoing climate change is expected to increase aridity conditions in worldwide, particularly in drylands, the vastest biome on Earth. However, whether...
Historically, violent conflicts tend to predominantly erupt in bad years, when droughts, floods, or heatwaves put the functioning of societies to the test....
The Ganges delta, covering two-thirds of Bangladesh, is one of the most vulnerable regions in the world. It presents a challenge for climate change adaptation...
Ocean circulation redistributes heat and shapes the marine environment. As the world’s oceans have been warming for decades, it is essential to determine how...
Stressful conditions do not always render reef corals white. We found that mild or brief exposure of corals to heat stress or to unfavourable nutrient...
Ice-age cycles define the major climate features of Earth's geologically recent past. Combining information from caves, deep-ocean sediments, and astronomical...
Humans have been largely unsuccessful at protecting assets and economic activity against tropical cyclones. Mangrove forest conservation efforts could yield...
