Depletion in soil moisture drives land water to flow into oceans, contributing to sea level rise
The increasing frequency of once-in-a-decade agricultural and ecological drought has underscored the urgency of studying hydrological changes.
Exploring the future of frozen water
Understanding ice dynamics in the Yukon’s St. Elias Mountains to prepare for sea level rise and protect water resources.
Glacier melt will unleash avalanche of cascading impacts gat global level
Five of the past six years have witnessed the most rapid glacier retreat on record.
World Water Day 2025: disappearing glaciers threaten the global water balance
On the 22nd of March 2025, World Water Day, the whole world turns its eyes to a tragic and imminent crisis: the accelerating disappearance of glaciers.
Global retreat of glaciers has strongly accelerated
International researchers with the participation of TU Graz present a global assessment of ice loss since the beginning of the millennium.
Life-bearing water arrived on Earth later rather than sooner
A team led by a Rutgers-New Brunswick scientist has concluded water did not arrive as early during Earth’s formation as previously thought, an insight that bears directly on the question of when life originated on the planet.
Extreme climate pushed thousands of lakes in West Greenland ‘across a tipping point,’ study finds
West Greenland is home to tens of thousands of blue lakes that provide residents drinking water and sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
UN: 75% of Earth’s land permanently drier in past 30 years
Even as dramatic water-related disasters such as floods and storms intensified in some parts of the world, more than three-quarters of Earth’s land became permanently drier in recent decades, UN scientists warned in a stark new analysis.
Large meltwater accumulation revealed inside Greenland Ice Sheet
A new study published in Nature unveils a surprising discovery: a substantial amount of meltwater is temporarily stored within the Greenland Ice Sheet during summer months.
New study warns that melting Arctic sea-ice could affect global ocean circulation
The warming climate in polar regions may significantly disrupt ocean circulation patterns, a new study published today in Nature Communications indicates.
Human activity transforms over 250,000 acres of estuaries into cities & farms in past 35 years
Worldwide over the past 35 years, dams and land reclamation activities converted 250,000 acres of estuary — an area roughly 17 times the size of Manhattan — to urban land or agricultural fields, with most land conversion and estuary loss in rapidly developing countries, a new study finds.
Methane emissions from Dutch canals underestimated, researcher finds
Researchers have so far underestimated methane emissions from canals in five major Dutch cities.
Rate and impact of climate change surges dramatically in 2011-2020
The rate of climate change surged alarmingly between 2011-2020, which was the warmest decade on record.
We can save lives and millions with less nitrate in drinking water
Denmark could save lives and more than $300 million a year by reducing the amount of nitrate in its drinking water.
Ice sheet surface melt is accelerating in Greenland and slowing in Antarctica, finds study
Surface ice in Greenland has been melting at an increasing rate in recent decades, while the trend in Antarctica has moved in the opposite direction, according to researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
Ancient plant wax reveals how global warming affects methane in Arctic lakes
Warming led to an intensified methane cycle, lasting thousands of years, study finds.

Envorem has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Saudia Arabia-based Greenland Environmental Services to provide its innovative technology to help the Kingdom in its environmental efforts.
Could artificially dimming the sun prevent ice melt?
With methods of so-called geoengineering, the climate could theoretically be artificially influenced and cooled.
Scientists predict a collapse of the Atlantic ocean current to happen mid-century
Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions persist.
Greenland melted recently, shows higher risk of sea level rise
Long-lost ice core reveals that most of Greenland was green 416,000 years ago.
