NASA: 2021 Arctic Sea Ice Maximum Extent Ranks Seventh-Lowest on Record
Sea ice in the Arctic appears to have hit its annual maximum extent after growing through the fall and winter. The 2021 wintertime extent reached…

Model of how Earth’s inner core froze into solid iron implies it may be only 500 million years old. For reasons unknown, Earth’s solid-iron inner…
The first double-blind experiment analyzing the role of human decision-making in climate reconstructions has found that it can lead to substantially different results. The experiment,…
The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center, DLR, has been used extensively to look many objects…
The Earth’s atmosphere has four primary layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. These layers protect our planet by absorbing harmful radiation. Thermosphere 53–375 Miles…
New study shows that geological storage of low-purity carbon dioxide mixed with oxygen and nitrogen from direct air capture is an environmentally friendly and economically…
Launched in 2007, the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere, or AIM, mission is the first detailed exploration of Earth’s unique and elusive clouds that…
A study of two methods for reconstructing ancient temperatures has given climate researchers a better understanding of just how cold it was in Antarctica during…
Oxygen levels in the world’s temperate freshwater lakes are declining rapidly — faster than in the oceans — a trend driven largely by climate change…
Nation’s ability to predict sea-level rise boosted with record going back to 10,000 years ago. Climate scientists at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU, Singapore)…
Sea ice in the coastal regions of the Arctic may be thinning up to twice as fast as previously thought, according to a new modeling…
As our climate warms, ice melting from glaciers around the world is one of main causes of sea-level rise. As well as being a major…
Over the past 1.2 million years, marine life was repeatedly extinguished in low-oxygen ‘dead zones’ in the North Pacific Ocean during warm interglacial climates. An…
Launching the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, UN calls on countries to meet commitments to restore 1 billion hectares of land. Facing the triple threat…
Shortly before Jakobshavn Isbræ, a tidewater glacier in Greenland, calves massive chunks of ice into the ocean, there’s a sudden change in the slushy collection…
The Permian Basin, located in western Texas and southeastern New Mexico, is the largest oil- and gas-producing region in the U.S. The oilfield operations emit…
A new study of historical carbon dioxide levels stresses urgent action is needed to avoid prehistoric levels of climate change. The international team of scientists,…
A large group of iconic fossils widely believed to shed light on the origins of many of Earth’s animals and the communities they lived in…
