Seventy-two days after setting out from Istanbul, champion distance runner Kevin Lin Yi Jie and a small team of other athletes have covered 4,434 kilometers of their 10,00-kilometer goal: Running the

Infrastructure doesn't have to look boring; this one references an old fable about a mountain utopia and features a modular steel frame.

Multifunctional zones and a sleeping loft enlarge this small apartment in Taipei.

Climate change is powerfully symbolized by severe drought. Extended, widespread drought can make potable water scarce. Desalination plants are energy intensive and expensive to build and run: the several recently build or planned for Australia may

For all the talk of green design and eco lifestyles, it’s odd that Australia has so few events for businesses, organisations and institutions to showcase their wares in this area. Melbourne does have its very well attended Sustainable Living Festival,

It is an undisputed truth that the majority of American cities have incomplete bicycling infrastructures. This is perhaps especially true in Los Angeles, where

SRD Change is the annual exhibition of new graduate design and ideas that address our those issues which will impact our future. Like issues of sustainability, environmental change and responsibility, social equity and community. The Society for

It would save fuel and be safer for pedestrians and cyclists. But is it too complicated?

Bananas are already in a perfect package. But is this even better?

Ben Richmond at Motherboard highlights a climate change success story.

While preservation of the planet's dwindling biodiversity itself has rightly grabbed the headlines at the ongoing Convention on Biological Diversity in Japan, Science Insider points out an important geoengineering

Late last week at the Convention on Biodiversity a resolution was adopted which places a moratorium on geoengineering unless it can be proven that the method in question can be shown to not have an adverse effect on

There's been lots of back and forth in the past year on biochar, ranging from research showing it has huge potential for absorbing carbon emissions on one side, to uncertainty about its potential, to outright

Another summary of the potential risks and benefits of ocean iron fertilization--the geoengineering method which proposes seeding oceans with iron so as to stimulate microscopic plants that absorb carbon from the

One of the more invasive geoengineering methods that's been proposed to avert global warming is spraying clouds with seawater to whiten them, reflecting solar radiation. New research presented at the European Geosciences Union meeting urges caution

Plus, spewing sulfate into sky to stop warming won't fully work (redux); what Singapore's doing to make sure sea level rise doesn't swamp their city. Here's what caught our eye this morning.

Wealthy individuals funding geoengineering feasibility studies because no one else will.

"The stakes are very high and scientists are not the best people to deal with the social, ethical or political issues that geoengineering raises."

Some new research looks at the unintended consequences of injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to block solar radiation and cool the planet, finding that doing so could turn skies everywhere into a brighter, whiter, hazier, ugly mess.

The quest to find a last-ditch techno-fix for climate change is more intense and globe-spanning than you possibly could have imagined. See for yourself.

The first field test of injecting sulfate particles into the atmosphere is proposed for New Mexico; ocean iron fertilization experiment shows more promise than previous ones.

It may have also been done under falsely obtained consent...

Because the iron dumped in the ocean off British Columbia wasn't dumped as waste, it didn't violate international law.

Inspired by geoengineering techniques, an artist creates a personal cloud-forming machine to make a point.

Geoengineering can be more than doing stuff to the environment. We could try leaving it alone.

Naomi Klein's latest book is about more than just science. She explores the extractivist mentality and historic decisions that have led us to where we now find ourselves, living in a totally unsustainable way.

But is it a pyrrhic victory?

Yet another bizarre, fact-free, and infuriating ruling has been handed down by British Columbia's Ministry of Children and Family Development.

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was expected to delivery its fifth Assessment Report (AR5) next month, but over the past weekend, a draft of that report was leaked to Reuters, which reported the early findings.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released its fifth assessment report (AR5), which surely must be one of the most important science documents of all time.

Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon called upon heads of state to make “bold” announcements at today’s Climate Summit.

The world had a bunch of big goals it didn't succeed in making by this year. Now the UN is creating an even bigger set of goals - finally taking the environment into account. But how to educate the world about the goals? Turn to comics.

The Heath Ledger-directed Modest Mouse video for "King Rat," released Tuesday, follows the animated adventures of a ship helmed by whales on the hunt for humans--harpoons and all.Ledger developed the video to draw attention to

City council voted unanimously this week to support a ban.

No complex masterplans, they simply deleted the cars and invited the public to come and play.

Architects, engineers, landscape architects and urban planners all have a role to play and should be acting now.

After a tragic fire caused by plastics, the British building code banned wood in exterior walls. This is a step in the wrong direction.

These sand "castles" are not your usual holiday beach creations.

The company says this system is simpler than other wave devices that need to be finely tuned to the waves to pick up their energy.

A new kind of hybrid generator promises to double the power output for the same surface area, by also harvesting energy from ocean currents.

When you think about it, it's really Moon power!

The new wave energy harvester will be utility scale and tough enough to need little maintenance, even in rough seas.

The city is getting bike lanes and light rail transit, and their new apparatuses are chosen to better fit the streetscape.

16 years ago, Horrace Burges had a divine vision, a calling from heaven. And, like the ark-crafting Noah before him, Horrace picked up a hammer and built a large wooden structure of his own--the world's largest tree house. At 10

Because everyone knows that bike paths are just the thin edge of the wedge. Next, they come for your cars.

In a word no. But people in cars seem to get a free pass for everything.

Building new roads has been a major contributor to the city's unsustainable growth, newly released Landsat photos show, but more of the same appears to be on the horizon.
