Understanding the nature and consequences of humans’ environmental impacts – and managing these impacts to protect the well-being of human society and other life on Earth – is humanity’s greatest challenge. Human Environmental Impact Through Time The human evolutionary line began in Africa about ...
Little is known about how climate change impacts glacier-fed streams (GFSs) microbiomes. Here, using a modelling framework based on global GFS metagenomic, climatic and environmental data the authors predict future increases in GFS bacterial biomass and diversity, but potential loss of clades adapted...
Atmospheric rivers in Antarctica Atmospheric rivers provide the majority of water vapour transport to the high latitudes. This Review summarizes Antarctic atmospheric river dynamics and climatology and discusses their impacts on the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet. ...

Tens of thousands of people ordered to flee their homes as wildfires tore through Los Angeles were told Thursday they would not be allowed back for at least a week, with fears over electrocution, landslides and exposure to ... Environment ...
The summer of 2023—with its dramatic wildfires in Canada and historic droughts across Europe—painfully showcased the consequences of the climate crisis. Addressing the consequences of climate change requires political leadership. In the wake of extreme weather events, where voters tend be more ...
Unfortunately, there is not just one answer for that, as there are multiple regional fires breaking out seemingly all over Canada and even the United States. However, the current air quality issues are coming from out-of-control wildfires in Quebec and Ottawa, Canada. There are also wildfires...
This study examines the influence of agricultural irrigation on heat stress and contrasts it against local impacts of urbanization in North American cities using regional climate model simulations. The results indicate that irrigation decreases air temperature and increases relative humidity, with daytime ur...
