Changes in Temperature and Plate Tectonics Determine Distribution of Coral Over Time

A new study has disclosed the fact that pre-historic coral reefs going back up to 250 million years extended much beyond the Earth’s equator compared to what is there at present.

Predator Impacts in the Ocean Peak at Higher Temperatures

A hotter ocean is a hungrier ocean-;at least as far as fish predators are concerned. In a new field study published online June 9 in Science, Smithsonian scientists discovered predator impacts in the Atlantic and Pacific peak at higher temperatures.

Study Finds Two Major Glaciers in Antarctica are Losing Ice at the Fastest Rate for 5,500 Years

At the current rate of retreat the vast glaciers, which extend deep into the heart of the ice sheet, could contribute as much as 3.4 metres to global sea level rise over the next several centuries.

Experts Develop a Super-Large Ensemble Simulation Dataset

According to the IPCC AR6 report, right from the beginning of the industrial revolution era, Arctic Sea ice melting, global warming, and growing sea-level increase are probably attributed to human activity.

Resistance of Cold Water Corals to Global Warming

Corals, including tropical and cold-water species, react to changes in their surroundings, including alterations in salinity, temperature, and pH values.

Study Calculates How Much Warming is Already Guaranteed by Past Emissions

Countries across the globe have pledged in the Paris Agreement to restrict warming to 1.5 °C, or, at least by 2 °C.

Satellite Data Reveals the Consequences of Climate Change in the Alps

Global warming has a particularly pronounced impact on the Alpine region. Like the Arctic, this European mountain range is becoming greener.

New Modeling Method Examines How Buildings Contribute to Urban Heating During Heat Waves

Previous research has found that heat waves and urban heat island effects reinforce each other's effects. These heat islands are concentrations of buildings, paved areas, and other surfaces that absorb and retain heat.

Global Warming Increases the Risk for Flooding, Study Finds

The Western Pacific Subtropical High (WPSH) is known to be an anticyclonic atmospheric system that floats over the lower and middle troposphere of the northwestern Pacific. This dominates summer climate extremes in the heavily populated East Asia countries.
