The warming climate is causing Tundra vegetation to grow taller and greener.
Warming global climate is altering the vegetation structure of northern forests. This trend will persist through the end of the century, based on NASA research.
New humidity-driven membrane may help simplify Direct Air Capture.
By using natural humidity differences to pump carbon dioxide out of the air, the team overcame the energy challenge. The presence of water also sped up the transport of carbon dioxide through the membrane, addressing the kinetic challenge.
Alaskan dust storms may play a more significant role in the world’s new climate system.
Although it is not yet clear how the Alaskan dust may affect the global climate system, new research from the University of Leeds and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science suggests that the effect is greater than previously believed.
With 95% certainty, new research says vital Atlantic Ocean current will completely collapse as early as 2025.
According to new calculations from the University of Copenhagen, important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold, and precipitation between the tropics and northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will stop around 2060.
What is El Nino and La Nina? What causes these notorious weather-impacting events and how do they differ from each other?
El Niño is a complex climate phenomenon that occurs irregularly in the tropical Pacific Ocean. It is characterized by a warming of the sea surface temperature in the eastern and central equatorial Pacific, which can have significant impacts on weather patterns around the world.
NASA finds June 2023 the hottest month on record.
June 2023 was the hottest June ever recorded, according to NASA’s global temperature analysis. This analysis is based on data collected from weather stations, research stations, ships, and ocean buoys. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York analyze this data to account for uncertainties and maintain consistent methods for calculating global…
The largest waterfall in the world is nearly 2 miles high and found underwater. Called the Denmark Strait Cataract, it moves so much water, it shapes global weather.
The biggest waterfall in the world is underwater. It’s located in the Denmark Strait between Iceland and Greenland. It moves three million cubic meters per second, enough to shape global weather.
It’s not just North America that’s impacted. Smoke from Canadian wildfires has been hanging over Germany for more than a month.
Massive wildfires in Canada have destroyed millions of hectares of forest, displacing over 100,000 people and impacting air quality for millions in North America. The ecological disaster’s effects have even been observed in the atmosphere over Germany.
New research suggests a warming climate may be causing serious vision impairment in older people.
A new research study published in the journal Ophthalmic Epidemiology shows that American adults aged 65 or older who live in warmer regions are more likely to have serious vision problems compared to those living in cooler areas.
