Scientists created a breakthrough forecasting system that predicts West Nile virus outbreaks across the US with 22% greater accuracy than previous methods. The climate-based model could help health officials prepare communities and save lives from a disease that's killed 3,000 Americans since 1999.
For over 50 years, NASA's Landsat satellites have watched our planet change, and the newest one is capturing sharper images than ever before. Landsat 9 helps map the entire Earth every eight days, spotting everything from wildfires to melting glaciers with stunning clarity.
Google.org just launched a $30 million challenge to accelerate AI-powered research tackling climate change and health crises. Scientists and nonprofits worldwide can now access funding, cloud resources, and Google engineers to turn breakthrough ideas into reality.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method to track Earth's vegetation health by calculating its "green center of mass," revealing an unexpected northward and eastward shift in global greenness. The discovery offers hope for understanding how our planet is adapting to environmental change.
New research reveals that ocean temperature patterns naturally prevent droughts from spreading globally at once, offering hope for smarter food security planning. The discovery shows nature has a built-in buffer against worldwide crop failures.
A massive mapping project just revealed hundreds of submarine canyons beneath Antarctica's ice, some plunging 4,000 meters deep. This discovery rewrites our understanding of how ocean currents and melting ice affect global sea levels.
An international team just completed the deepest drill ever beneath Antarctica's ice sheet, pulling up 23 million years of history that could help predict our climate future. The surprise discovery of ancient ocean life offers real hope for understanding how to prepare for melting ice.
A new satellite company just proved it can track changes on Earth every single day with unprecedented accuracy. After months of testing, EarthDaily is ready to launch six more satellites in May, bringing daily global coverage online by summer 2026.
Researchers have developed groundbreaking monitoring methods to safeguard Canada's Peace-Athabasca Delta, a wetland the size of Delaware that's home to Indigenous communities and remarkable biodiversity. Their seven-year study offers hope that this UNESCO World Heritage Site can be protected for generations.
Ancient rock art in Chad's Ennedi Reserve proves the Sahara was once lush with rivers and forests. Scientists now see early signs the world's largest hot desert could be greening again.
Researchers just pulled 228 meters of ancient rock from beneath West Antarctica's ice sheet, the deepest core ever retrieved. This natural time capsule could reveal how the ice behaved during past warm periods and help predict our climate future.
Scientists have proven that tropical forests actively create rain, not just receive it. The Amazon alone produces tens of billions of dollars worth of rainfall that feeds farms and cities thousands of miles away.
For more than four decades, NASA has been measuring how our planet absorbs and reflects the Sun's energy, creating the foundation for understanding climate systems. This quiet scientific achievement has given us the tools to predict weather, plan for the future, and protect our world.
Scientists discovered that parts of Greenland's massive ice sheet are churning like boiling water, a wild finding that could help predict how fast sea levels will rise. The breakthrough solves a mystery that has puzzled researchers for years.
Google.org just launched a global funding program to help scientists use artificial intelligence to solve humanity's biggest challenges, from curing diseases to fighting climate change. Researchers worldwide can now apply for grants, cloud computing access, and expert support to accelerate discoveries that could change millions of lives.
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory just watched the first cloud form inside their revolutionary new chamber. This breakthrough tool could finally answer why some clouds rain while others don't.
Climate experts and health professionals are beating misinformation at its own game by creating engaging social media content that makes science accessible. Their videos are racking up millions of views and changing how people get accurate information online.
Researchers can now follow water's global journey using tiny atomic clues, creating the most accurate picture yet of how water moves across Earth. This breakthrough helps predict extreme weather and understand climate change impacts on future water patterns.
As millions of soccer fans head to Dallas for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the city is using climate science to protect visitors and leave a lasting environmental legacy. From heat maps to air sensors, Dallas is turning a global sporting event into a sustainability showcase.
A groundbreaking study reveals forests do far more than store carbon—they lower temperatures, stabilize rainfall, and create livable conditions that protect hundreds of millions from deadly heat. When forests disappear, so does their life-saving cooling power.
