Despite Australia being under the influence of a strong El Niño, above-average sea-surface temperatures are fuelling multiple cyclones off the northeast Queensland coast.
Three consecutive extremely low sea ice summers strengthens the case for a new regime in Antarctic sea ice.
We crave certainty in our weather forecasts. But that’s only possible for big weather events such as cyclones and major storms. Everything else is probability.
A telescope can reveal so much of the night sky, including Saturn’s rings and the Moon’s craters, but choosing the right telescope is a difficult decision. Here’s what you need to know.
It was the comic strip and movies that unleashed the legendary Australian comedian, and many of his characters, on the world.
It’s still possible for Australia to cut emissions in line with holding climate change to 1.5°C, but only if we act quickly and seize the enormous opportunities offered in fast decarbonisation.
As we wait for global leaders to convene and chart the future course for the world’s population of eight billion, we can take proactive steps to protect health from climate change through multifaceted and sustained efforts that transcend the confines of net zero.
Sea ice around Antarctica has always followed a predictable seasonal cycle. Now, we’ve experienced a sudden dramatic loss, and the changes are here to stay.
Struggling with climate anxiety? You’re not alone. Experts unpack this unprecedented and growing mental health crisis.
From the hottest global average day, to the highest average sea surface temperature and the lowest Antarctic sea ice extent – here’s why so many climate records are breaking, all at once.
Temperatures plummeted across southeast Australia this week, with Canberra experiencing its lowest temperature since 2018 and the lowest for June since 1986. What’s going on?
The world’s collective failure to adequately address climate change alters “the rules of the parenting game”.
From New York to Tokyo, Melbourne to Venice – honeybee hives have revealed the unique genetic signatures of cities, even providing insights into human health.
Scientists have unlocked the secret of how a hydrogen gas-scavenging enzyme uses trace hydrogen in the air to create energy, opening the door to create devices that can produce energy.
Research shows higher noise levels are detrimental to learning and productivity, while a calm environment can provide students with uninterrupted learning time that also supports their spiritual wellbeing.
We assessed 187 ASX200 companies – together they produce 32% of Australia’s operational emissions. Much of the action promised will come too late to avert catastrophic global warming.
In what is the first COP since Labor took office in May this year, there are positive signs of Australia picking up its game on climate policy.
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted extremely distant galaxies formed soon after the Big Bang, but are they old or young? Or is this the wrong question to ask?
A new study into the value of the National Music Teacher Mentoring Program shows it’s possible to upskill classroom teachers with little previous music experience to deliver quality music programs in their schools.
We should welcome all options that enable low-carbon hydrogen to play a role in decarbonising our energy systems, and stop focusing on colour-coding production methods.
A by-product of above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s is helping forensic scientists determine an unidentified person’s time-of-death.
Researchers have devised a method of producing green ammonia with the potential to supersede the current century-old process.
To supercharge the climate fight, we need to mitigate the environmental and financial impact of producing lithium-ion technology, and develop lower-carbon batteries.
Australia’s climate policy can learn much from our experience of COVID-19, as it’s a case study in the importance of swift collective action during a global crisis.
