“Europe Faces Increased Heat Mortality in Coming Decades”
CLIMATE ARCHIVE
Solar Power Shortages Are on the Rise
More communities are relying on solar power as a source of renewable energy, but increasing demand and climate change threaten its reliability.
For Climate and Livelihoods, Africa Bets Big on Solar Mini-Grids
Nigeria is pioneering the development of small, off-grid solar panel installations to bring reliable electricity to remote communities — setting a model for other African countries.
First Global Comparison of Glacier Mass Change: They’re All Melting, and Fast
By systematically assessing data gathered by different methods, researchers refined estimates of global glacier melt and its contribution to sea level rise.
The “Surprising” Effect of Drying Headwaters on Nitrogen Dynamics
Contrary to predictions, spring rains caused a decrease in nitrogen at watershed outflows in Alabama.
Climate Shifts Drive Episodic Drainage Changes
Drainage divide migration is influenced by tectonics and climate over long periods. New research in Israel shows that even shorter-term wet-dry cycles can move divides.
When Ice Ages End, Ocean Circulation Fine-Tunes Ocean Heat
New Antarctic ice core data bolster model predictions of ocean heat content during glacials and interglacials.
Nonlinear Dynamics May Lead to Faster Retreat of Antarctic Ice
The Antarctic ice sheet behaves like a non-Newtonian fluid and may be more nonlinear than previously thought. This impacts its future stability and requires revisions to predictions of sea level rise.
NASA Science Faces an “Extinction-Level Event” with Trump Draft Budget Proposal
The initial draft of President Donald Trump’s budget request proposes devastating cuts to NASA’s science research, future space missions, and field centers.
Unlocking Climate Secrets of Hawai‘i’s Drowned Reefs
Researchers set sail to study sea levels, climate, ecosystem responses, and volcanic histories over the past 500,000 years, using an innovative seabed drill to sample fossilized reefs off Hawai‘i.
U.S. National Climate Assessment Likely Dead After Contract Canceled
The Trump administration has canceled funding used to coordinate the National Climate Assessment, a major, congressionally mandated U.S. climate change report produced through the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP).
The National Climate Assessment is published approximately every four years and is the United States’ broadest assessment of current climate change impacts and climate science.
