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…
Weeks of warmer-than-average ocean temperatures caused extensive bleaching in the world’s largest coral reef system. Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has been hit by widespread coral…
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…
A study led by the University of Barcelona warns of the oil resources that should not be exploited to meet the commitments of the Paris…
Mangroves and salt marshes capture significant quantities of carbon, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that these environments…
This majestic image of the dazzling green lights of the aurora borealis was captured on March 17, 2015, around 5:30 a.m. EDT in Donnelly Creek,…
A Landsat satellite acquired this image of discolored water drifting from the active underwater volcano. Kavachi is one of the most active submarine volcanoes in…
According to a recent study from the University of Colorado Boulder, the Arctic may experience summer days almost entirely free of sea ice within the…
Scientists at Tufts University state that soil, which contains 80 percent of the Earth’s carbon, emits more greenhouse gases as droughts cause soils to crack…
Sea ice coverage reached its seasonal minimum in February 2024, tying with 2022 for the second-lowest extent in the satellite record. In the waters around…
This wide-angle photo offers the feeling of looking out over the Persian Gulf from an altitude of about 250 miles. An astronaut aboard the International…
Scientists from Penn State and Brown University suggest that rocks from ancient subduction zones, areas where tectonic plates collide and are forced beneath one another,…
New research indicates that climate change is altering the seasonal river flows in the far northern regions of America, Russia, and Europe, presenting risks to…
The storm dropped a substantial amount of rain as it moved across Mozambique. In March 2024, low wind shear in the Mozambique Channel allowed Tropical…
Researchers are leveraging troves of data collected by animal-borne sensors to complement satellite observations, expand weather measurements, and better understand wildlife ecology in a changing…
