The mechanism involves atmospheric waves that bounce between the upper atmosphere and ground level, amplifying weather patterns and making them more extreme. Scientists call this “stratospheric wave ...

A new study found trees in temperate forests aren’t as effective at absorbing carbon as some climate models assume.

In recent weeks Europe sweltered under intense heatwaves, while southern South America had record low temperatures. How far ...

A University of Leeds study reveals that climate change could cause a decline of up to 68% in global temperate rainforests by 2100. These forests, vital for carbon storage, face significant losses ...

Up to two thirds of the world’s temperate rainforests could fall victim to climate change by the year 2100 according to a new study by researchers at the University of Leeds.

Birds from all over the world flock to shores, bays, and estuaries, but not for the same reasons people do. But some species ...

People understand how saving tropical forests is good for the planet, but temperate forests are equally indispensable in fighting climate change ...

The amount of water in our environment is influenced by the climate. Across Australia, there are six broad climate zones.

This may affect the temperature gradient between the poles and the temperate regions that drives much of the climate system.

For some countries, climate change has already pushed most of their territory into a different climate zone. Our research shows what’s already happened – and what’s yet to come.
