Fixing Pollution from Space Needs Global Coordination

by David S. Schimel 4 September 20244 September 2024

Remote sensing is a tool of choice for monitoring regions for air pollution, but the scale of the problem requires extending geostationary soundings globally.

A Crystal Ball for the Carbon Cycle, But a Cloudy One

by David S. Schimel 14 November 202314 November 2023

Carbon cycle models quantify relationships between emission scenarios and resulting atmospheric concentrations, but are the projections credible? New analyses find grounds for both hope and concern.

Northern Ecosystems are Shaped by Snow

by David S. Schimel 12 September 202313 September 2023

Changing climate in the Arctic leads to a shorter snow season but deeper snow in the depths of winter. Under the insulating snow, biological processes are accelerated leading to higher nutrient availability and carbon losses.

The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring (but Later)

by David S. Schimel 31 December 20217 February 2023

Mismatch between the pace of climate change and crop phenology may signal a new challenge for climate change adaptation.

Hot Lakes in a Cold Climate

by David S. Schimel 31 December 202119 October 2022

Arctic warming may release less carbon dioxide from high latitude lakes but increase their climate impact by releasing more methane.
