Tulane’s Time Machine: Unraveling Climate Impact on Wetlands
New research on coastal wetlands indicates that without significant carbon emission reductions, 75% of these areas will be in deficit by 2070, potentially leading to…

As the Arctic warms, the growth of rivers could release carbon emissions equivalent to those of millions of vehicles. Recent findings from Dartmouth reveal groundbreaking…
Throughout the Quaternary period of recent geological history, there have been alternating cycles of ice ages and warm intervals. Scientists can understand past climate changes…
The Amazon rainforest could approach a tipping point, which could lead to a large-scale collapse with serious implications for the global climate system. A new…
EarthCARE, the European Space Agency’s advanced satellite mission, is set to revolutionize our understanding of the climate system by exploring the interactions between clouds, aerosols,…
Marine heatwaves will become a regular occurrence in the Arctic in the near future and are a product of higher anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions – as…
Greenland’s ice and glacier cover has diminished by 11,000 square miles in three decades due to warming temperatures, leading to significant environmental changes. This transformation…
In November 2023, the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission documented a vast algae bloom around the Falkland Islands, highlighting the interplay between oceanic currents that fuel these…
A landmark study has uncovered that bottom trawling contributes to the release of as much as 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually into…
Simulations indicate that injecting aerosols into the stratosphere could mitigate the melting of ice sheets caused by global warming. One of the many effects of…
Drawing together an array of interdisciplinary studies across archaeology, ecology, anthropology, and evolutionary theory, Erle Ellis, professor of geography and environmental systems at the University…
A large stadium contributes to the nighttime illumination of Las Vegas, which hosts the Super Bowl for the first time in 2024. Las Vegas knows…
Torrential rain fell on southern parts of the state, the product of an intense atmospheric river. An unusually strong winter storm parked over California for…
NASA’s PACE satellite lifted off from Florida and headed for orbit, from where it will observe microscopic organisms in Earth’s oceans and particles in the…
Volcanic carbon emissions reached an all-time low, triggering a global ice age that lasted for 57 million years. Australian geologists employed plate tectonic modeling to…
Genetic studies of an Antarctic octopus reveal that the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) occurred in the Last Interglacial period, approximately 129,000…
Researchers discovered rapid ice loss in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet 8,000 years ago, signaling potential future risks under global warming. Researchers from the University…
Specimens obtained from the seabed offer the inaugural detailed local climatic history and establish a connection to widespread disease outbreaks. Is there a link between…
