Iceland, Hawaii and Italy have all tried to control lava to save cities in the past. A volcanologist explains the methods.

An atmospheric scientist explains how rising temperatures are helping to fuel extreme storms, floods, droughts and devastating wildfires.

Iceland is known as ‘the land of fire and ice’ for a reason.

The US saw a record number of billion-dollar disasters in 2023, even when accounting for inflation. The number of long-running heat waves like the Southwest experienced is also rising.

We rarely see good news headlines when a cyclone, earthquake or wildfire does not turn disastrous.

Iceland’s volcanic activity is generally tame compared with explosive eruptions along the Pacific’s Ring of Fire. This time, it’s shaking up a town.

A new study of Florida’s fiscal vulnerability to climate change finds that flooding directly threatens many local tax bases.

Like icy thermometers, glaciers overlying volcanoes shift according to temperature changes below.

Climate models suggest North Africa will get drier in future. But its caves tell a different story.

Alarmingly, about half the people exposed to wildfires in Washington and Oregon were those least able to afford to protect their homes, evacuate safely and recover.
