Understanding Wind and Water at the Equator Key to More Accurate Future Climate Projections
Getting climate models to mimic real-time observations when it comes to warming is critical – small discrepancies can lead to misunderstandings about the rate of global warming as the climate changes.
An Inside Look at Beech Tree Disease
Beech trees provide food for animals, timber for wood products, and sustenance for beech drop plants, but they are under threat from Beech Leaf Disease (BLD).
UMaine Researchers Use Gps-Tracked Icebergs in Novel Study to Improve Climate Models
Over the last four decades, warming climate and ocean temperatures have rapidly altered the Greenland Ice Sheet, creating concern for marine ecosystems and weather patterns worldwide.
Humans Have Driven the Earth’s Freshwater Cycle Out of Its Stable State
