An international team of researchers has mapped a massive freshwater reserve beneath kilometers of ice, comparable in size to a medium-sized country. This subglacial system not only redefines the physical map of icy regions but is also key to understanding climate change dynamics, sea-level rise, and polar ecosystems.
A fascinating study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals why some species survived the Great Dying 252 million years ago. The key was their ability to breathe in warm, oxygen-poor oceans, a discovery that brings hope and tools to protect our current marine biodiversity against climate change.
Este 6 de julio de 2026, en el marco del Día Mundial de las Zoonosis, especialistas de la OMS y otras entidades destacaron que el 60% de las nuevas enfermedades infecciosas provienen de animales. La destrucción de hábitats es un factor clave, pero la biotecnología y la estrategia Una Salud traen esperanza para el futuro.
Intense rains in West Africa have claimed the lives of 59 people in Ivory Coast since May, a number that could still rise. Authorities are intensifying rescue efforts as the region faces increasingly extreme weather, showing remarkable resilience and solidarity in the face of adversity.
A recent scientific study has deciphered one of Earth's greatest climate mysteries. Researchers revealed that dynamics deep within the planet thermally isolated the South Pole, allowing it to freeze millions of years before the North Pole, a phenomenon linked to the creation of 'diamond volcanoes'.
Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave that has already melted traffic lights and forced building adaptations. Experts warn that the human body has a limit to adapting to high temperatures, with a fatal process starting at 42 degrees Celsius. France, Spain, Germany, and other nations broke historical records in June 2026.
An unprecedented heatwave scorching Europe since June 21, 2026, has resulted in over 1,300 deaths. France reports around 1,000 additional fatalities and Spain exceeds 320, as morgues in Paris reach capacity during this record-breaking weather event.
An international team of geologists has identified a continental-scale formation hidden 3 kilometers under the ice of East Antarctica. This remarkable discovery reveals how the supercontinent Gondwana fragmented 150 million years ago and has crucial implications for understanding current climate change and future sea level projections.
Europe is facing its worst heat wave ever recorded, with more than 130 million people enduring temperatures above 35°C. France reports nearly 1,000 additional deaths, while Germany, Czech Republic, and Poland broke all-time records. The WHO warns the continent is warming at twice the global average rate.
The heat wave scorching Europe since June 21, 2026 has already claimed more than 1,300 lives and shattered historical records across a dozen countries. France reports approximately 1,000 additional deaths, while Germany broke its temperature record three times in just 72 hours. Scientists warn these extreme events are now 100 times more likely than two decades ago.
An unprecedented heatwave has struck Western Europe, leaving more than 1,300 deaths since June 21. France reports approximately 1,000 additional fatalities, while the United Kingdom and Germany break all-time temperature records. Authorities are implementing exceptional measures to protect vulnerable populations from the extreme conditions.
A scientific analysis confirms that heatwaves have become the continent's new normal. London nears 40°C, Paris has already hit it, and the French town of Pissos recorded a scorching 44.3°C. The WHO warns Europe is warming at twice the global average and demands urgent structural changes.
An unprecedented heat wave is gripping Western Europe, with temperatures projected to reach 40°C in Germany and Poland. Scientists from World Weather Attribution confirm this extreme phenomenon would be impossible without climate change. The United Kingdom recorded 36.7°C in Somerset, breaking its all-time June record.
Scientists confirm the heatwave scorching Western Europe is the most severe ever recorded. With the UK hitting a historic 36.7°C and over 100 million people affected, experts state this event would be impossible without human-caused climate change. The crisis has even impacted sports, forcing Formula 1 to declare a 'heat hazard' for the Austrian Grand Prix.
A French family lost sight of their young son and found him lifeless inside a vehicle during the heatwave sweeping Europe with record temperatures exceeding 40°C. France has placed 44 million people under red alert while authorities implement emergency measures.
An unprecedented heatwave is sweeping across Europe with temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F). France has placed 44 million people under red alert, Spain reports 212 heat-related deaths in just 4 days, and Italy confirms 5 fatalities within 24 hours. For the first time ever, the Netherlands has issued a red heat alert, while Switzerland shatters its all-time temperature record at 38°C (100°F).
