Fresh research from the University of New Mexico’s biology department suggests that forest managers should waste no time replanting vast swaths of trees lost after major wildfires – like the historic Calf Canyon/Hermit’s Peak blaze.

Researchers with Sandia National Laboratories are using a fiber optic cable at the bottom of the Arctic seafloor to study permafrost – which they say gives us a better understanding of global warming patterns.

A nonprofit organization looking to map North American methane emissions has started flying a special jet over New Mexico’s San Juan Basin to gather data on sources of pollution from the state’s booming oil and gas industry.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has made it clear that paving a path to a hydrogen hub in New Mexico is a priority for this legislative session.But, with just under 10 days left, it’s looking grim for the governor’s wishes as yet another attempt by lawmakers to define hydrogen as a renewable energy has fallen short.

During Albuquerque’s summer season, some neighborhoods clock almost 17 degrees hotter than others. That’s according to a report released by CAPA strategies last month.From planting trees in lower-income neighborhoods to changing the ways we build and design our streets, 91°µÍø’s Bryce Dix reports on ways our city can cool down these neighborhoods in the face of climate change.

Drought adds fuel to the Southwest’s massive wildfires by killing off swaths of forests. That’s been exacerbated over the last decade by bark beetles that attack and kill live trees. Now, a new study shows climate change is accelerating these processes, causing more trees to die faster.

Increasing drought and tree mortality rates are causing forests in the American Southwest to die earlier and quicker –– which can add fuel to devastating wildfires.

An overwhelming majority of scientists agree that human-caused climate change is real. And along with more heat, drought and wildfires, we are facing an…

A recent study shows that humans have been living in a specific temperature "niche" for at least 6,000 years, but climate change could force billions of...
