Findings Provide Unique Insights to Better Understand Climate Change in the Arctic

The tiny particles suspended in the air known as aerosols play an important role in heating and cooling our planet, but their effects still aren't fully understood. The particles can occur naturally, such as from volcanoes, forests and oceans, or be produced by human activity, such as fossil-fuel combustion and industrial manufacturing.

Actions to Reduce CO2 Emissions Could Limit the Rising Temperature of Swiss Rivers

According to an EPFL study, if we take immediate measures to reduce CO2 emissions, we could limit the rise in the temperature of Swiss rivers to 1 degree Celsius between now and 2090 without drastically affecting their discharge. Inaction, on the other hand, would threaten ecosystems and jeopardize the country's agriculture sector and electricity production.

Global Warming is Amplifying Our Water Cycle - and It's Happening Much Faster than We Expected

A UNSW Sydney-led study shows at least two times more freshwater has shifted from warm to cold regions of the earth than our climate models predicted – signifying broader changes to the global water cycle.

New Insights About How the Global Water Cycle is Amplifying as a Whole

The global water cycle – that is, the constant movement of freshwater between the clouds, land and the ocean – plays an important role in our daily lives. This delicate system transports water from the ocean to the land, helping to make our environment habitable and soil fertile.

Shrub Recruitment in Greenland and the Tibetan Plateau Suppressed by Global Warming

A new study led by Prof. LIANG Eryuan from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) shows that global warming has suppressed shrub recruitment in Greenland and the Tibetan Plateau.

Researchers Observe Extremely High Rates of Melting at the Bottom of Greenland Ice Sheet

Researchers have observed extremely high rates of melting at the bottom of the Greenland Ice Sheet, caused by huge quantities of meltwater falling from the surface to the base. As the meltwater falls, energy is converted into heat in a process like the hydroelectric power generated by large dams.

Study: Modern Rates of Sea Level Rise Began Emerging in 1863

An international team of scientists including Rutgers researchers has found that modern rates of sea level rise began emerging in 1863 as the Industrial Age intensified, coinciding with evidence for early ocean warming and glacier melt.

Converting Unrecyclable PPE into Harmless Byproducts

Researchers at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Engineering have developed a novel method for turning PPE into harmless byproducts which would prevent tons of PPE from ending up in landfills.

Ancient Methane Gas Ocean Cores Reveal Clues about Global and Environmental Changes

According to a study performed by two researchers from Texas A&M University, sediment cores gathered from the Southern Ocean dating back 23 million years are offering better insight into how ancient methane escaping from the seafloor could have resulted in regional or global climate and environmental variations.

“Blue Blob” Located Close to Iceland Could Decelerate Glacial Melting

According to a new study, an area of cooling water in the North Atlantic Ocean close to Iceland, named the “Blue Blob,” has likely decelerated the melting of the island’s glaciers since 2011 and may continue to thwart ice loss until approximately 2050.
