Florida is projected to lose 3.5 million acres of land to development by 2070. A new study highlights how Florida can buffer itself against both climate change and population pressures by conserving the remaining 8 million acres of "opportunity areas" within the Florida Wildlife Corridor (FLWC), the only designated statewide corridor in the U.S.
The health of the world's coral reefs is once again under severe threat, as scientists from NOAA and the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) have confirmed the onset of the fourth global coral bleaching event, marking a critical environmental issue that spans the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The global food crisis is increasing due to rapid population growth and declining food productivity as a result of climate change.
Meandering ocean currents play an important role in the melting of Antarctic ice shelves, threatening a significant rise in sea levels.
According to a University of Southampton study, despite harsh weather, market forces have maintained reasonable food price stability over the previous 50 years.
Using artificial intelligence, satellite observations, and climate model projections, a team of researchers from Switzerland and Belgium calculate that for every tenth of a degree of increase in global air temperature, an average of nearly 9,000 meteorites disappear from the surface of the ice sheet.
New research suggests that certain deeper areas of the Great Barrier Reef are currently shielded from harmful heatwaves; however, this protective effect is at risk of being compromised if global warming persists.
Recent studies have shown that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations and consequential warming may compromise the community structure and functioning of the cold tundra ecosystems. However, in addition to uptake carbon, natural vegetation, particularly forests, can physically cool neighboring areas by releasing certain cooling molecules.
While climate change has led to an increase in the abundance of octopuses, heat stress from projected ocean warming could impair their vision and impact the survivability of the species.
