Study Reveals the Impact of Climate Change on Glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere

In their article "Retreat of Northern Hemisphere marine-terminating glaciers, 2000-2020" published in Geophysical Research Letters, they analyzed all 1704 glaciers that touched the ocean in the year 2000 and documented their frontal position in 2000, 2010, and in 2020.

Global Warming Could be Amplified by Freshly Thawed Permafrost in the Arctic

Thawing permafrost in the Arctic could be emitting greenhouse gases from previously unaccounted-for carbon stocks, fuelling global warming.

Researchers Quantify the Length of Summer as Earth’s Temperature Rises

With the onset of COVID-19, it has now become customary to screen body temperature before entering restaurants or buildings. This is because even 1 °C increase in body temperature is considered dangerous to one's health. Then what if the Earth's temperature rises by 1 °C or 2 °C? For the first time, a POSTECH research team has quantified the length of summer as the Earth's temperature rises.

Atmospheric Rivers Likely to Bring Severe Extreme Rainfall Events Over East Asia

It's been becoming more and more clear that global warming means more than just warmer temperatures. Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and more intense in many different parts of the world, creating an urgent need to predict and prepare for these changes.

Earth’s Heat May Dissipate Sooner than Previously Thought

The evolution of our Earth is the story of its cooling: 4.5 billion years ago, extreme temperatures prevailed on the surface of the young Earth, and it was covered by a deep ocean of magma.

Global Shift in Climate Patterns Brings Winter Rain to Eastern Arabian Peninsula

The Arabian Peninsula is one of the world’s driest places, hence understanding how climate change may alter local rainfall patterns is critical. According to data comparisons, changes in winter rainfall over the peninsula throughout the 1980s have now been connected to an ocean-atmospheric phenomenon affecting sea surface temperatures in the central Pacific and westerly jet streams arriving from North Africa.
