The interior and western parts of the country experienced the highest incidence of drought, while heat waves were more prominent along the northern and northeastern coasts.

A new study led by the ICARUS Climate Research Centre at Maynooth University has reconstructed a century of sea-level change around Ireland, revealing a stark acceleration in sea-level rise.

As temperatures rise and development expands, the number of homes and other structures damaged or destroyed by wildfires across the U.S. is on pace to triple by mid-century, my colleagues and I found in a study published.
