Study Reveals Sea-Level Will Rise as Greenland Ice Sheet Melts to Half Its Size by Year 3000

Due to the 21st century global warming, the Greenland ice sheet may add more than a few meters to sea-level rise in the centuries ahead; however, effective climate change alleviation measures will significantly lessen its decay.

Researchers Develop New Patented Method for Determining the Temperature at Which Soil Freezes

Researchers from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) and their collaborators from JSC Research Center of Construction have illustrated the practical utility of their earlier patented technique for identifying the temperature at which soil freezes and how much unfrozen water has been contained by them.

Study Examines Loss of Climate Space for Permafrost Peatlands in Europe and Western Siberia

In Europe and Western Siberia, permafrost peatlands are coming much closer to a climatic tipping point compared to what was believed earlier, and researchers warn about this.

Rapid Degradation Seen in the Arctic Seafloor as Submerged Permafrost Melts

A new research from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) scientists and their collaborators is the first to record how the melting of permafrost, submerged underwater at the periphery of the Arctic Ocean, is impacting the seafloor.

Dynamic Response of Trees and their Survival in Tropical Cyclones

Strong winds can cause damage to trees in the forest. In spite of extreme weather events turning out to be more prevalent, researchers have not completely understood why few trees are damaged while other trees exist.

Study Investigates Ancient Air Trapped Inside Tiny Air Bubbles

Ice cores help climate researchers to investigate 800,000 years back in time. Atmospheric carbon serves as fertilizer, thereby increasing biological production. The mechanism helps eliminate carbon from the air and thereby reduces the extent of global warming.

Accelerated HFC Phase-Down Could Provide a Better Chance of Holding Global Warming to 1.5°C

To have a better chance of holding global warming to 1.5 deg.C, we need to accelerate the phase-down of HFC refrigerants under the Montreal Protocol. This could also reduce pollution and improve energy access.
