The Metropolitan Water District's board is set to vote in December on whether to spend $141.6 million for planning of the proposed Delta tunnel project.

Most of the area burned by the Mountain fire was in sparsely populated areas, but when high winds helped the blaze leap across Highway 118, it began threatening a suburban neighborhood in the Camarillo Hills.

Prepare to be amazed.

Blowing off steam may do more harm than good.

A new study published in Nature Climate Change estimates that a 1-meter sea level rise by 2100 would affect over 14 million people and $1 trillion worth of property along the Southeast Atlantic coast, from Norfolk, Virginia, to Miami, Florida.

Human-caused climate change is driving an increase in extreme weather. Heat waves, droughts, and extreme precipitation are occurring more frequently, growing more intense, and directly affecting ecosystem function. For instance, the 2003 European heat wave—the continent's hottest summer in centuries—caused

Human-caused climate change made Atlantic hurricanes about 18 miles per hour (29 kilometers per hour) stronger in the last six years, a new scientific study found Wednesday.

If you follow any path of ancestry back far enough, you’ll reach the same single point. Whether you begin with gorillas or ginkgo trees or bacteria that live deep in the bowels of the Earth — or yourself, for that

This could explain a lot.

Research on moscovium and nihonium shows they are more reactive than flerovium and subject to notable relativistic effects, broadening our understanding of superheavy elements and their potential uses. An international team led by scientists from GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt, Johannes Gutenberg

Caltech’s new optical devices, evolved by algorithms and crafted via precise 3D printing, offer advanced light-manipulation for applications like augmented reality and cameras. Researchers at Caltech have developed a groundbreaking technology that “evolves” optical devices and fabricates them using a

Pain signals travel through the nervous system with the help of proteins known as calcium channels, which play a crucial role in the process. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have identified the precise location of a specific calcium channel

A complete specimen reveals how pterosaurs evolved from early forms into the massive giants of later periods. The pterosaurs were extinct flying reptiles that lived alongside their close relatives, the dinosaurs. While the largest pterosaurs reached wingspans of up to

New modeling research reveals that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is particularly vulnerable to shifts in the Irminger Sea from increasing Arctic meltwater.
