Mining, Land Grabs, and More: When Decarbonization Conflicts With Human Rights The shift to renewable energy is exacerbating social injustice issues, particularly affecting indigenous communities…
A recent study by Griffith University and a team of global researchers found that whales’ contribution to carbon capture is minimal and insufficient to significantly…
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future. Petermann Glacier is one of…
NASA is launching a mission to study high-altitude ice clouds using two CubeSats equipped with the Polarized Submillimeter Ice-cloud Radiometer (PolSIR). The objective is to…
Study suggests extent of future sea level rise could be vastly underestimated. New research has found that the grounding line of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier shifts…
According to a study conducted by Michigan State University (MSU), advancements in making the world a better place for both people and the environment have…
A new study warns of a 20-40% reduction in biodiversity in the ocean’s twilight zone by the end of the century due to climate change….
Researchers identified regions, such as Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Central America, as most vulnerable to record-breaking heatwaves, emphasizing the need for action plans to…
Massive iceberg discharges during the last ice age had no impact on nearby Greenland, raising new questions about climate dynamics. Heinrich Events, massive iceberg discharges…
The mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalayas has been significantly underestimated due to satellite limitations, with major implications for projections of glacier…
The 51-square kilometer (20-square-mile) pileup is an important yet poorly quantified part of the carbon cycle, scientists say. Throughout the Arctic, fallen trees make their…
Bronze-age underwater volcanic deposits are helping researchers understand the size, hazards, and climate impact of massive caldera-forming eruptions. The findings will guide the development of…
Impacts of potent greenhouse gas: a bit lower than previously thought. UC Riverside researchers found that methane not only traps heat in the atmosphere but…
How do clouds shape the planet’s future? Clouds are not just fluffy white shapes in the sky. They are vital for regulating the earth’s climate,…
Despite the availability of satellite technology, a simple 19th century tool called the Secchi disk is still useful for ocean scientists to measure the concentration…
Smoke Particles From Wildfires Can Erode the Ozone Layer MIT chemists show the Australian wildfires widened the ozone hole by 10 percent in 2020. A…
Across the planet, ice is rapidly disappearing. From mountain tops, the poles, the seas, and the tundra. As the ice melts, it’s exposing new surfaces,…
Twenty-seven global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models, have…
