An analysis extending from southern Portugal to northern Norway highlights the importance of temperature in determining where fish species are found.
U.S. Deploys Modified B-57 to Study Chemicals That Could Cool the Planet
U.S. scientists have deployed a modified Korean War-era bomber to measure trace gases in the stratosphere that reflect sunlight.
Northern and southern resident orcas hunt differently, which may help explain the decline of southern orcas
In the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, southern resident orcas have experienced no net population growth since the 1970s, with just 73 left at the most recent count. But northern resident orcas, which have a similar diet, territory and social structure, have grown steadily, now numbering more than 300. A...
The World’s Atmospheric Rivers Now Have an Intensity Ranking Like Hurricanes
Atmospheric rivers, which are long, narrow bands of water vapor, are becoming more intense and frequent with climate change.
Without Changes, Global Food Systems May Drive World Beyond Climate Targets, Says Study
Production of meat, dairy and rice are the leading sources of food-related emissions.
Diverse Approach Key to Carbon Removal
Diversification reduces risk. That’s the spirit of one key takeaway from a new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Underused satellite, radar data may improve thunderstorm forecasts
Tens of thousands of thunderstorms may rumble around the world each day, but accurately predicting the time and location where they will form remains a grand challenge of computer weather modeling. A new technique combining underused satellite and radar data in weather models may improve these predictions, according to a...
Life in the Smoke of Underwater Volcanoes
Disconnected from the energy of the sun, the permanently ice-covered Arctic deep sea receives miniscule amounts of organic matter that sustains life.
For the Longest Time
For more than a month, Tropical Cyclone Freddy has cast about in the Indian Ocean, bringing powerful winds and downpours to anything in its long and wandering path.
Electric Vehicle Batteries Could Get Big Boost With New Polymer Coating
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a conductive polymer coating – called HOS-PFM – that could enable longer lasting, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
