A recent study by Griffith University and a team of global researchers found that whales’ contribution to carbon capture is minimal and insufficient to significantly…
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future. Petermann Glacier is one of…
NASA is launching a mission to study high-altitude ice clouds using two CubeSats equipped with the Polarized Submillimeter Ice-cloud Radiometer (PolSIR). The objective is to…
Study suggests extent of future sea level rise could be vastly underestimated. New research has found that the grounding line of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier shifts…
According to a study conducted by Michigan State University (MSU), advancements in making the world a better place for both people and the environment have…
A new study warns of a 20-40% reduction in biodiversity in the ocean’s twilight zone by the end of the century due to climate change….
Researchers identified regions, such as Afghanistan, Papua New Guinea, and Central America, as most vulnerable to record-breaking heatwaves, emphasizing the need for action plans to…
Massive iceberg discharges during the last ice age had no impact on nearby Greenland, raising new questions about climate dynamics. Heinrich Events, massive iceberg discharges…
The mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalayas has been significantly underestimated due to satellite limitations, with major implications for projections of glacier…
The 51-square kilometer (20-square-mile) pileup is an important yet poorly quantified part of the carbon cycle, scientists say. Throughout the Arctic, fallen trees make their…
