How Do You Know If You’ve Experienced Global Warming?

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 30 September 202129 March 2023

Answering this question can help policymakers, scientists, and climate communicators develop more effective strategies to reach skeptics and deniers.

Mount Etna, a stratovolcano, sits in front of an ashy night sky. Lava erupts from and flows down the volcano, and ash and gas billow up from a vent behind the peak and make the sky glow orange. A few star trails appear in the upper right corner.

Etna Under Pressure: Does Gas Buildup Foreshadow Eruption?

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 15 September 202129 March 2023

Pressure from both magma and gas can trigger eruptions. Monitoring degassing can help predict eruptions but only if the magma system is well understood first.

Most Olympic Sports Not Advancing on Sustainability

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 6 August 20211 June 2023

World Sailing, World Athletics, World Rowing, and FIFA made the podium. Seven of the 32 summer Olympic sports federations haven’t even entered the race.

A bright orange ring of dust surrounds a fuzzy orange center that hides the central star of the PDS 70 system. Sitting between the central star and the planet-forming dust disk is a small, bright orange dot that is the young planet PDS 70 c.

Where Moons Are Made

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 4 August 202126 April 2022

The young, growing planet PDS 70 c has enough material swirling around it to make at least three Moon-sized moons.

An exoplanet transits the star as a dark circle. Its orbit cuts across the star’s surface as a white line with arrows indicating that it moves from top to bottom.

Peculiar Planets Prefer Perpendicular Paths

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 29 July 202128 September 2021

Some exoplanets orbit their stars from pole to pole instead of across the equator. Why do they do that?

Climate Litigation Has a Big Evidence Gap

Kimberly M. S. Cartier, News Writing and Production Intern for Eos.org by Kimberly M. S. Cartier 23 July 20211 June 2023

Climate-related lawsuits don’t often quantitatively link the defendant’s greenhouse gas emissions to the impacts on the plaintiff. Better lines of communication between climate scientists and climate lawyers could help bridge that gap.
