Collapsed Lakes Trigger Large-Scale Ice Flow Response in Greenland During Winter

A team of international researchers has shown for the first time how 18 meltwater lakes in Greenland collapse during winter which cause the edges of the ice to flow faster.

Sandia Scientists Develop Mathematical Model of Ship Tracks to Inform Climate Intervention Decision-Makers

Scientists from Sandia National Laboratories are studying ship tracks — clouds that reflect sunlight and are formed by moving ships, similar to contrails from planes — to help inform decision-makers of the benefits and risks of one technology being considered to slow climate change.

The Ocean Clean Up: Effectively Removing Carbon Dioxide From Ocean Water

Researchers at MIT have discovered an innovative and effective method for removing CO2 from ocean water which could be carried out by ships as they navigate the ocean waters.

The Role of Marine Phytoplankton in Regulating Atmospheric CO2

Recent research shows that a common category of marine calcifying phytoplankton (coccolithophores) plays an important role in the regulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere.

Revealing the Sedimentary Responses to Glacio-Eustatic Changes

Reliable carbonate carbon isotopes (d13Ccarb) mirror differences in global carbon cycling, and thus the paleoclimate and paleoceanographic conditions

Warnings Made About Risky Climate Feedback Loops

A new study reported by a global team of scientists, along with researchers from Oregon State University (OSU), warns of several risky climate feedback loops and the requirement for action in research as well as policy.

An Analysis of a Marine Heatwave Event and Its Triggers

A research group headed by Prof. Baoshu Yin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) accredited the record-breaking marine heatwave (MHW) event to the atmospheric weather pattern, global warming, and El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: A Potential Analog of Current Global Warming

56 million years ago, the Earth experienced one of the largest and most rapid climate warming events in its history: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which has similarities to current and future warming.

Heavy Industry in Australia Could Decarbonise, Help Limit Warming to 1.5 degrees and Create Up to 1.35 million Jobs: New Report Outlines Pathways

A new report has, for the first time in Australia, outlined decarbonisation pathways that show it is possible for five of Australia's most significant heavy industry supply chains to transition to net zero, consistent with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 ºC.
