An online portal developed by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) will enable forecasters in West Africa to provide communities with earlier and more reliable warnings about large storms.
Scientists Find Gaps In Global River And Stream Monitoring
New research co-authored by a Texas A&M scientist analyzed placement of stream gauges that inform important global water datasets.
NASA Simulation Suggests Some Volcanoes Might Warm Climate, Destroy Ozone Layer
While the ozone loss was not a surprise, the simulations indicated the potential magnitude of the destruction
NASA’s EMIT Will Map Tiny Dust Particles to Study Big Climate Impacts
To help researchers model climate effects, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will measure the composition of minerals that become airborne dust.
Studies Find the Seeds of a Forest’s Renewal After Wildfire, Drought
A forest’s ability to regenerate after devastating wildfires, droughts or other disturbances depends largely on seed production.
How One ‘Extreme’ Plant Could Help Stanford Biologists Engineer Climate-Resistant Crops
When faced with conditions that are too dry, salty, or cold, most plants try to conserve resources.
A Mission to Monitor Migrating Monarchs
Millions of monarch butterflies migrate each fall to a specific cluster of mountain peaks in central Mexico.
Finding Terra Incognita
A combination of atmospheric measurements and fine-scale simulations has improved understanding of the modeling anomalies that arise when the model resolution approximates the length scale of turbulence features — an atmospheric simulation problem known as Terra Incognita.
Engineers Use Artificial Intelligence to Capture the Complexity of Breaking Waves
Waves break once they swell to a critical height, before cresting and crashing into a spray of droplets and bubbles.
Ancient Oak Trees to Shed Light on the Climate of the Past 4500 Years
Researchers will soon be able to reconstruct the climate of north-west Europe including the UK over the last 4500 years, and to date wooden buildings and objects more accurately, by analysing the chemistry of ancient oak trees, through a new Swansea-led project just selected for €3 million in European funding.
