On Wednesday, 14 October 2015 the research icebreaker Polarstern from the Alfred-Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI),…
A giant mound near the Moon’s south pole appears to be a volcanic structure unlike any other found on the lunar surface, according to new research.
This approach is particularly suitable for regions where the local climate is strongly influenced by the ocean and therefore falls within the global climate…
New University of Washington research suggests that subsurface warming could be causing more methane gas to bubble up off the Washington and Oregon coast.
“These findings will help us better understand and develop strategies to adapt to the severity of ocean acidification in different marine ecosystems around the…
The discovery of these newly identified locations for methylmercury production builds on previous work in which scientists from the Department of Energy's Oak…
Supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), a team led by Frédéric Herman of the University of Lausanne has mapped the Franz Josef Glacier in…
To reconstruct how the global climate and topography of the Earth's surface have developed over millions of years, deposits of eroded land sediment transported…
The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder or AIRS instrument flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite, which circles the Earth twice a day. AIRS gathers temperature data…
The method now published in Nature Communications can be applied to assess geoengineering impacts as well as global effects of local extreme weather events,…
“Rock from 3.4 billion years ago showed that the ocean contained basically no free oxygen,” says Clark Johnson, professor of geoscience at UW-Madison and a…
Published in Nature Climate Change, their study shows that in this area the ice flow into the ocean increases just constantly with the heat provided by the…
One of the big unknowns in predicting climate change is the billions of tons of carbon frozen in Arctic permafrost. As global warming causes soil temperatures…
The GOES-East satellite is managed by NOAA, and at NASA's GOES Project at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, imagery from GOES-East…
Isoprene is a gas that is formed by both the vegetation and the oceans. It is very important for the climate because this gas can form particles that can…
Summer, or southwest, monsoons are moisture-soaked seasonal winds that bring critical rainfall to the Indian subcontinent during the June-September wet season….
