Measurements from EMIT, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, will improve computer simulations scientists use to understand climate change. NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust…
Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled…
Clouds can either cool or warm the planet’s surface, a radiative effect that contributes substantially to the global energy budget and can be altered by…
Reptiles had one heck of a coming-out party just over 250 million years ago during the end of the Permian period and the start of…
The series of heatwaves we are currently experiencing in western Europe is a clear sign of human-induced global warming. ESA’s Clement Albergel explains how we…
Water levels on the Rhine River, Europe’s second-largest river, have continued to fall due to soaring temperatures and lack of rainfall. The low water levels…
As glaciers around the world retreat due to climate change, managers of national parks need to know what’s on the horizon to prepare for the…
The Po River, the longest river in Italy, is hitting record low water levels after months without heavy rainfall. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 animation above shows…
Global warming has a particularly pronounced impact on the Alpine region. Like the Arctic, this European mountain range is becoming greener. Scientists from the University…
Researchers have finally answered a long-standing question over the role of Earth’s orbit in driving global ice age cycles. Scientists have been able to decipher…
Research shows that only ambitious climate protection measures can still save a third of the tundra. Temperatures in the Arctic are climbing rapidly as a…
For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been found under atmospheric conditions. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen, in…
A new study has revealed super cyclones, the most intense form of tropical storms, are likely to have a much more devastating impact on people…
Oldest continuous arctic record is a step toward understanding dramatic shift in glacial cycles. New research is the first to provide a continuous look at…
To help researchers model climate effects, NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will measure the composition of minerals that become airborne dust. Blown…
Climate projections are critical for adaptation and mitigation planning. The output of the latest round of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6) has…
Wetlands are Earth’s most efficient natural storage system for climate-warming carbon dioxide. Human activities such as marsh draining for agriculture and logging are increasingly eating…
