Policy research often looks at measures in isolation, ignoring the complex bigger picture.
The Orinoco Basin is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. It’s also rich in oil, gold and critical minerals crucial to modern technology.
Population crashes are dangerous and can be irreversible. But new research shows they are not always an evolutionary dead end.
A plantation worker photographed this new genus of mammal in New Guinea, thought to have been dead for 6,000 years.
Solar cycles, sea ice and rising electricity use all play a role. So does an unhealthy surprise that has been quietly hiding a large amount of global warming – until now.
Conflict in the Middle East has led to long petrol queues in Australia. Going electric ends reliance on fuel imports – but will you pay back the EV premium?
Environmental factors can cause cardiovascular disease.
On a hot or smoky day, a shopping centre or library can offer refuge. We need to design climate havens with the warming future in mind.
Australia’s huge diversity of reptiles could be at risk from new fungal diseases.
For years, Queensland authorities have been broadscale baiting fire ants. But the infestation is too big – and the baits wipe out rival species
Carp is a prized table fish in Europe but despised in Australia. How did we get here?
Oil isn’t a normal commodity – it shapes politics around the world.
People can retreat indoors from extreme weather, but crops can’t. Farmers are increasingly looking at nets, misters, polytunnels and greenhouses to protect crops.
New research reveals that the adverse environmental and health impacts of atmospheric dust in the world’s rapidly growing megacities deserve far more attention.
Australia hosts hundreds of live performance events each year, drawing about 14 million concertgoers – and their environmental footprints.
Survivor accounts reveal how quickly evacuation routes become fatal, and why the danger of getting behind the wheel is often underestimated.
Australia’s new fuel efficiency standards are already working to cut emissions – but the real story is behind the scenes.
Behind the long-term climate projections that affect our lives sits one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era.
Rivers support billions of people but are among the least protected parts of nature. A major review shows what needs to be done as climate change accelerates.
