Investigators from Nagoya University and Japan’s National Institute of Polar Research discovered that dust from land without snow cover in the Arctic is a significant source of particles that form ice crystals in the Arctic’s low-level clouds (at altitudes below about 3 km) during summer and fall.
Seabirds, from cormorants to puffins, spend most of their lives at sea. Beloved by birdwatchers, these animals can be hard to study because they spend so much time far from shore.
In order to tackle the growing plastic problem, Chemists at the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) have devised an innovative, new method for recycling PET plastic.
A team of scientists has recently identified a method that is able to successfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is available, affordable, and capable of being implemented right now.
Scientists know that urbanization and irrigation can significantly influence rainfall. However, they don't fully know how these effects vary among different types of rain. Researchers investigated how large-scale urbanization and irrigation in the United States affect the three dominant types of summer precipitation in the mid-Atlantic region.
Anthropogenic aerosols - aerosols originating from human activity - and greenhouse gases, or GHGs, have helped modulate the storage and distribution of heat in oceans since the industrial age. Isolating and quantifying the effects of both forcers using coupled climate model simulations, a University of California, Riverside-led team has found that anthropogenic aerosols and GHGs have played distinct roles in the world's oceans in shaping the pattern of heat uptake, redistribution, and storage.
PSI investigators have been analyzing different ways of mitigating climate change with coworkers from the US, China, Ireland, Finland, and Sweden, using a comprehensive computer simulation of the climate, the global economy, and the global energy system.
For now, it isn’t budging. But eventually, the “heat dome” that has parked itself over Texas and is sending temperatures soaring to triple digits will expand to other parts of the nation, putting millions more people at risk and further straining an already-overwhelmed power grid.
In the face of the growing climate crisis, researchers from a variety of fields are focusing their efforts on understanding how different climate systems have altered and will continue to do so as climate change proceeds.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture plays a crucial role in the sequestration process, which aims to prevent the release of waste CO2 into the atmosphere and mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuel combustion on global warm...
