EPFL scientists are beginning to understand why corals in the Gulf of Aqaba, along with their symbiotic algae and bacteria, resist higher temperatures particularly well….
Climate projections could be off by five years, researchers find. The ocean’s “biological pump” describes the many marine processes that work to take up carbon…
A team led by physical oceanographers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego shows in a new study how plumes…
A team of Swiss and international climate scientists has shown that the risk of glacial lake outburst floods in the Himalayan region and the Tibetan…
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts recently passed a climate bill that sets a target of net-zero emissions for the state by the year 2050. The bill…
Data collected using the MAR climate model developed at ULiège indicate that this could happen as early as the end of this century, or even…
Geologist studies greenhouse gas emissions from uncapped, idle wells in Texas. Uncapped, idle oil wells could be leaking millions of kilograms of methane each year…
Lakes could be suitable for the extraction of methane for energy production. Lakes store huge amounts of methane. In a new study, environmental scientists at…
One tends to think of mountain glaciers as slow moving, their gradual passage down a mountainside visible only through a long series of satellite imagery…
New calculations show the rise due to warming would be 30% above forecasts. Global sea level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West…
Cave deposits reveal Pleistocene permafrost thaw, absent predicted levels of CO2 release. The vast frozen terrain of Arctic permafrost thawed several times in North America…
An international research team including scientists from ETH Zurich has shown that almost all the world’s glaciers are becoming thinner and losing mass’ and that…
Study finds Earth’s frozen surfaces became less susceptible to thawing, potentially locking in more carbon than expected. Nearly one quarter of the land in the…
Fractures from melting and run-off will indirectly lead to sea level rise. More than a third of the Antarctic’s ice shelf area could be at…
The now-familiar sight of traditional propeller wind turbines could be replaced in the future with wind farms containing more compact and efficient vertical turbines. New…
The state of the planet is much worse than most people understand and that humans face a grim and “ghastly future” unless extraordinary action is…
There were no records set in 2020-21, but the downward trends in polar ice continue. The amount of sea ice around Earth’s poles waxes and…
