In Breda, a remote monitoring system for the presence of potentially harmful bacteria in surface and river waters triggers early warnings for local authorities.

Researchers from UC Irvine have found evidence of the molecular causes of the damaging impact heat stress causes on the gut, liver and brain. These findings point to the potential of developing precise prognostic and therapeutic interventions.

It is already well-documented that extreme climate events result in significant psychological impacts. As planetary warming amplifies, more forest fires are expected in California and globally, with significant implications for mental health effects.

This paper studies how air quality around combustion power plants changes in response to hydrological droughts that affect hydropower generation.

Central Equatoria State in South Sudan is pioneering an initiative to bolster its resilience against potential hazards, through the development of hazard-specific contingency plans at the county level.

Population ageing is expected to lead to significant rises in climate risk because vulnerability rises sharply throughout people's later years. But what if we account for rising longevity? Does this change our understanding how ageing influences risk?

The time to conduct extensive research and develop policies based on calm, reasoned judgements is now, when the last pandemic is behind us and the next is yet to come.

Climate change is transforming dust storms—a natural phenomenon in the Middle East—into a more frequent and widespread threat to health and economies throughout the region, a new study shows.
