In the coming decades, climate change is likely to lead to a loss of sea ice in and an influx of warmer water to the Arctic Ocean, affecting the ocean’s vertical circulation. Brown et al. recently ...
An olive tree in Ni’lin, a town in the West Bank, caught fire after a tear gas grenade detonated during a Palestinian demonstration against land confiscation by Israel in 2016. Credit: יורם שורק via ...
The way climate change affects thermodynamic signals, such as atmospheric temperatures, is relatively well understood. Its effects on atmospheric circulation, however, are more complex because the ...
New research found that sediments emptied into the waters of Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska, by Aialik Glacier were more dense in bioavailable micronutrients than sediments reaching the fjords ...
Clouds on Venus race across the sky at speeds of more than 100 meters per second, driven by incompletely understood atmospheric dynamics. Credit: Kevin M. Gill, CC BY 2.0 Imagine the catastrophic ...
The ocean has helped mitigate global warming by absorbing around a quarter of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, along with more than 90% of the excess heat those emissions generate. This ...
Two new studies investigate the possible origins of organic molecules detected in plumes erupting from the surface of Saturn’s moon Enceladus, pictured here in an artist’s impression. Enceladus’s ...
A new study mapped the ages of forests around the world. Forests in the Congo Basin, as seen in this image, were found to be younger at the end of the study than they were at the beginning. Credit: ...

Warm water flowing into fjords and beneath ice shelves will continue to be a prime cause of glacial melting as global temperatures rise. This melting will, in turn, contribute to sea level rise and ...
The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a natural climate phenomenon driven by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere in the tropical Pacific. In recent decades, major advances in observing ...
Research & Developments is a blog for brief updates that provide context for the flurry of news regarding law and policy changes that impact science and scientists today. From a flurry of executive ...
