Switzerland is a success story in predicting landslides — but more must be done to help the rest of the world prepare for these deadly, unpredictable disasters.

Glaciers are the planet’s frozen water banks. They sustain water supply, ecosystems and even cultural traditions. But many of these sprawling beds of ice are melting. Why does that matter?

A 100-meter-deep layer of rock and ice debris is covering the Swiss village of Blatten after a glacier collapsed from a nearby mountainside. DW’s Rosie Birchard met with survivors and experts assessing the disaster’s aftermath.

Changes to planning laws could speed up projects, but experts warn water consumption will also need limiting.

In the 1970s, the USSR used nuclear devices to try to send water from Siberia’s rivers flowing south, instead of its natural route north.

In September 2023, a bizarre global seismic signal was observed which appeared every 90 seconds over nine days—and was then repeated a month later. Almost a year later, two scientific studies proposed that the cause of these seismic anomalies were two …

New research led by the University of Sydney adds to our understanding of how rapidly rising sea levels due to climate change foreshadow the end of the Great Barrier Reef as we know it.

Across Africa, many rural communities face a growing sanitation crisis. Wastewater treatment systems, where they exist, are often old, overloaded, or broken. In some towns, untreated sewage flows directly into rivers, contaminating water sources and ha…
