Surging Seas: NASA Links Spike in 2023 Global Sea Level to El Niño
A long-term sea level dataset shows ocean surface heights continuing to rise at faster and faster rates over decades of observations. Global average sea level…

It is not a secret that glaciers are melting, and that it causes a problem with sea levels rising, but a new way of reading,…
A new study significantly reduces uncertainty about cloud impact on global warming, finding anvil clouds less influential than expected. New analysis based on simple equations…
New modeling predicts Australia may experience megadroughts lasting 20 years or more, exacerbated by climate change, posing severe risks to the environment and agriculture. Australia…
Researchers at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) have created simulations of ocean currents beneath the ice of the 79° North Glacier in northeast Greenland. The…
New mathematical modeling of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning – a system of ocean currents – shows greater complexity than previously thought. An international team of…
Claims that climate change occurs naturally conflict with recent trends in ocean temperatures, which are indicative of human influence. New oceanic research provides clear evidence…
Global warming is unlocking methane reserves, the size of which remains uncertain. A young researcher at the University of Copenhagen found significant amounts of this…
Typically viewed as unrelated problems, global warming and plastic pollution are instead inextricably trapped in a “vicious circle” where one feeds the other, researchers in…
Arctic sea ice coverage in 2024 decreased to 6 million square miles, continuing a 46-year trend of shrinkage and thinning. Sea ice at the top…
Study indicates that changes in rainfall patterns, rather than shifts in temperature, account for trends in soil moisture. Soil moisture levels play a crucial role…
Experts highlight the connection between climate change and infectious diseases, urging medical professionals to prepare for new disease patterns and advocate for climate action. A…
Trees are struggling to sequester heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2) in warmer, drier climates, meaning that they may no longer serve as a solution for offsetting…
Critical infrastructure is threatened as sinking land amplifies global sea level rise. In many parts of the U.S. East Coast, rising seas driven by melting…
The Arctic and North Atlantic oceans have seen an increasing number of days when precipitation falls as rain, not snow. The Arctic is known for…
UC Irvine researchers suggest we may be underestimating the severity of sea level rise. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion…
A recent study has found that climate change is impacting the timing of river flows, especially in the higher northern regions. River flow patterns, which…
In the process of converting plants into fuel, the initial phase — decomposing the plant material — has consistently posed the greatest challenge. Recent research…
