The Climate of Change/Clima de Cambio exhibit at the Nancy Stueber Natural Sciences Hall invites visitors to explore climate science through immersive displays and hands-on activities.

Push a metal corer into a peatland and you pull up something remarkable: a dark, dense, sponge-like material made of partly decomposed plants. This peat is rich in carbon. In some places, that peat has been building up for thousands of years.

In comments on Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent dismissed the scientific consensus on the causes of climate change.

Ancient Antarctic ice is revealing a surprising new chapter in Earth’s climate story, stretching back 3 million years. By analyzing tiny pockets of trapped air and rare gases, scientists have discovered that while the planet cooled significantly—especially in the oceans—levels of key greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane changed only modestly.

Researchers including a number from the University of Exeter, have identified the most urgent unanswered questions about peatlands, providing a global roadmap to guide future science and policy for one of the planet's most important and threatened ecosystems.

April 25 marks the official opening of the Nancy Stueber Natural Sciences Hall at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. The new permanent exhibition is called Climate of Change/Clima de Cambio and it explores the relationship between people and our environment.

We generally measure climate change through carbon emission graphs, global warming statistics, or images of melting

Wildfires raging this week in southern Georgia and northern Florida were fueled by a combination of hot and windy conditions, severe drought and dried-out vegetation from past hurricanes all feeding t

For many years, climate change has appeared in headlines, policy debates, and scientific reports. The phrase itself can sound overwhelming. It can feel like something distant, complicated, or political. But before reacting to the noise around the topic, it ...

The Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) has released a white paper, “Food Science & Technology Solutions for Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change,” that identifies food science and technology opportunities and solutions that can address the dual challenge of adapting to and mitigating climate change to improve food and nutrition security.

In 2025—Earth's third warmest year on record—massive fires destroyed entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles, a deadly heatwave killed more than 24,000 in Europe and powerful storms triggered catastrophic flooding in Southeast Asia. Scientists were quick ...
