Bacteria Decide the Ocean’s Dissolved Organic Carbon Abundance
Dissolved organic carbon prevalence follows from how many bacteria are around to eat it, modeling suggests.
Antarctic Ice Sheet Has Lost a Connecticut-Sized Amount of Ice Over the Past 30 Years
A new study of Antarctica has found that since 1996, its ice sheet has lost 12,820 square kilometers (nearly 5,000 square miles) of ice—nearly enough to cover the state of Connecticut, or 10 cities the size of Greater Los Angeles.
Greenland Dust Delivers Nutrients to Ice-Melting Algae
Researchers scrutinized aerosols above and within the ice sheet, finding phosphorus and other mineral particles.
Marine Heat Waves Can Increase Coastal Rainfall
Unusually warm ocean waters can amplify extreme rainfall in downwind areas, leaving coastal communities—especially those in developing countries—at risk.
Understanding Aerosol-Cloud Interactions is Pivotal for Improving Climate Predictions
Global cooperation and knowledge sharing are essential to improve our understanding of cloud formation and evolution through aerosol-cloud interaction.
With the Ocean Included, the Social Cost of Carbon Doubles
A new calculation includes ocean ecosystems when assessing the monetary impact of climate change.
Sediments Offer an Extended History of Fast Ice
Scientists used sediments to create a millennia-long archive of Antarctic fast ice. Along the way, they discovered that the freezing and thawing of this enigmatic ice appear to be linked to solar cycles.
Linking Space Weather and Atmospheric Changes With Cosmic Rays
Water-Cherenkov cosmic-ray detectors can be used as a tool for monitoring and studying changes in the lower stratosphere over Antarctica.
Earth’s Climate May Go from Greenhouse to Hothouse
Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.
The Endangerment Finding Is Lost
Tomorrow, the EPA will revoke the 2009 Endangerment Finding, finalizing a July proposal to do so, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a 10 February announcement.
