While initial estimates can be a useful early measure in assessing the damage of natural disasters, the true costs are often much higher.

Across the world, farmers are turning waste biomass into biochar, which can be used to improve their soils, boost the yields of their crops and create a new source of income — all while sequestering carbon.

Cool roofs reflect sunlight and reduce the urban heat island effect.

New research finds that "floatovoltaics" could generate a substantial amount of energy worldwide.

Extreme heat and droughts are making it harder to grow grapes in many traditional regions. Here’s how scientists are helping the industry adapt.

The seas are rising and coastal land is subsiding. That could expose hundreds of thousands of additional Americans to inundation by 2050.

You need a heat pump, ASAP. Now nine states are teaming up to accelerate the adoption of this climate superhero.

Clouds way up in the stratosphere act like a blanket, trapping heat in the Arctic and Antarctica. That could help explain why models keep underestimating how fast they’re warming.

Wastewater fuels blooms of reef-smothering algae. Better engineering and an army of funny-looking fish can come to the rescue.

More research is showing that moths are secret, critical pollinators, even of crops that feed humanity. Save the bees, but save the moths too.
