Climate science is the study of Earth’s climate system—its patterns, processes, and long-term changes—driven by natural forces and human activities. It integrates data from the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice to understand phenomena such as global warming, extreme weather, sea level rise, and shifting ecosystems. Through climate modeling, satellite monitoring, and field research, scientists aim to predict future trends and guide strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Explore the latest research findings, policy-relevant insights, and technological innovations shaping our understanding of climate change and its global impact.
