Harnessing Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Predictability from Annual Evolution
Capturing year-to-year variations of the stratospheric polar vortex’s annual evolution enables skillful prediction of subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) cold-season anomalies up to six months in advance.
Ancient Maya Wetlands Reveal Settlement That Thrived Amid “Collapse”
A newly excavated site provides evidence that Maya communities migrated from urban areas to rural wetlands during times of intense drought.
As Ice Recedes and Land Rebounds, Antarctica’s Mineral Resources Come into Focus
Melting ice, rebounding land, and rising seas will change what resources are available in Antarctica, a new analysis finds.
Arctic Winter Sea Ice Hits a Record Low, Again
Sea ice in the Arctic has likely hit its maximum extent for the year, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said on 26 March. That maximum extent is one of the lowest ever recorded, tying last year’s record for the least sea ice coverage in the 48-year observational record.
Drilling Down to Open Up New Understanding of Earth’s Continents
Scientists have drilled into Earth’s crust for decades to understand natural hazards, past climates, energy resources, and more. They’ve only scratched the surface of what we can learn.
The Future of Earth’s Future
With the expansion of the journal’s scope, the Editor-in-Chief of Earth’s Future appoints three Deputy Editors to oversee new thematic areas.
Shrinking Sea Ice Is Ruffling Emperor Penguins’ Feathers
A scientist stumbled upon evidence of penguin molting sites in satellite data, but the sea ice these birds rely on is disappearing.
Volcanism Could Lead to Less, Not More, Atmospheric CO₂
The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide temporarily fell by 50% immediately preceding a period of intense volcanism, likely because of increased weathering, new results reveal.
Earth’s Climate Records Are Melting
An ice core from the Weißseespitze Glacier collected in 2019 gave researchers a peek into the history of Earth’s wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and anthropogenic activity. In the years since, much of the glacier has disappeared.
Temperatures Are Soaring in the Western United States. Climate Change is to Blame, Says a New Report.
A new rapid analysis by World Weather Attribution suggests that, based on a combination of observations and modeling, climate change has made the extreme temperatures forecasted for 18-22 March about 800 times more likely and 2.6°C hotter.
