Last week's massive southern California earthquakes shut down Ridgecrest Regional Hospital throughout the July 4 holiday weekend while the tiny town of…
Based on computer simulations, they confirmed that this belt of the brown macroalgae Sargassum forms its shape in response to ocean currents. It can grow so…
From time to time, there have been long periods of cooling in Earth's history. Temperatures had already fallen for more than ten million years before the last…
New evidence suggests that high-energy particles from space known as galactic cosmic rays affect the Earth's climate by increasing cloud cover, causing an…
“One of the greatest uncertainties surrounding future sea level rise is how glacier dynamics change when glaciers come into contact with warming waters. Our…
PollyNet stations in Finland, Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal and South Korea are already continuously measuring dust in the atmosphere by laser. Further…
Whereas most previous research assumed that sediment transport by earthquakes only happened by sliding of sediment packages (i.e. submarine landslides), that…
Snow's water content, or snow water equivalent (SWE) is a “holy grail for many hydrologists,” said Bart Forman, the project's principal investigator and a…
Unlike flawless gems, fibrous diamonds often contain small saline inclusions. These give hints to scientists about the conditions under which diamonds are…
For the first time, an international research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) has investigated atmospheric ice nucleating…
How can the impacts of climate change on agriculture in West Africa be measured and minimized? African and German research teams have examined this question…
The Earth’s gravity fluctuates from place to place. Geodesists use this phenomenon to observe geodynamic and climatological processes. Using…
The huge magnetic field which surrounds the Earth, protecting it from radiation and charged particles from space – and which many animals even use for…
One aspect of climate change that has received little attention in the public debate so far is the spread of what are called vector-borne diseases, namely,…
With this programme, the EU supports the career development of scientists. It is the first such MSCA fellowship to be awarded to an employee of TROPOS.
The most complete assessment ever of statistical uncertainty within the GISS Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP) data product shows that the annual values…
