Un antiguo evento de calentamiento podría haber durado más de lo que pensábamos
Una nueva investigación sobre el Máximo Térmico del Paleoceno-Eoceno usó análisis probabilístico para entender mejor su duración y sobre cuánto tiempo podría afectar el calentamiento moderno al ciclo del carbono.
Científicos revelan los peligros ocultos del calor y las inundaciones en Texas
Una parte más amplia del “Estado de la Estrella Solitaria” podría verse afectada por más olas de calor e inundaciones de lo que sugieren registros previos.
What’s Changed—and What Hasn’t—Since the EPA’s Endangerment Finding
A scientist-authored brief played a role in the 2009 determination that greenhouse gases endanger public health. With the finding now up for reconsideration, the same scientists revisit their opinion.
Where Do Antarctic Submarine Canyons Get Their Marine Life?
A new study investigates how much of the phytoplankton in the Palmer Deep submarine canyon is homemade and how much is delivered.
Scientists Reveal Hidden Heat and Flood Hazards Across Texas
A wider swath of the Lone Star State may be affected by more heat and flood events than previous recordkeeping suggests.
New Global River Map Is the First to Include River Bifurcations and Canals
GRIT provides a much more detailed look at how rivers merge and split, which could enhance hydrological modeling, flood forecasting, and water management efforts.
An Ancient Warming Event May Have Lasted Longer Than We Thought
New research on the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum used probabilistic analysis to learn more about its duration and how long modern warming could affect the carbon cycle.
Glaciers Offer Clues into the Path of Fossil Fuel Pollution
New research traces the origin of carbon deposited from the atmosphere onto glaciers.
