“It’s very well-documented that the oceans are a big missing piece in the social cost of carbon.”

Location, Location, Location: The “Where” of Reforestation May Matter More Than the Extent
A new study finds that focusing reforestation efforts in strategic locations, such as the tropics, can accomplish global cooling levels comparable to less strategic reforestation efforts covering twice as much area.
Weather Radar Data Reveal the Dynamics of Rapidly Spreading Wildfires
New research demonstrates the use of operational weather radar measurements to track long-range ember fallout and rapid spread of intense wildfires.
Mediterranean Mussel Farming Could Collapse by 2050
New experiments suggest that ocean warming and acidification are on track to slash both oyster and mussel farming yields.
Amazon River Breezes Mimic Pollution in Clouds
Natural river breezes create clouds over the Amazon that mimic the signs of pollution, complicating climate impact assessments.
Cleanup of Battery Recycling Sites May Lower Childhood Lead Exposure
Unsound recycling of lead-acid batteries pollutes the soil around houses and agriculture fields in developing countries. Soil remediation might help in lowering the blood lead levels of children.
How to Study Coastal Evolution
Researchers reviewed what’s known about how coastlines are changing and made recommendations for how to learn more.
Machine Learning Can Improve the Use of Atmospheric Observations in the Tropics
Scientists develop a novel machine learning-based technique that is equally effective in gaining information from observations about the unobserved state variables in the midlatitudes and tropics.
Fixing Baltimore’s Unequal Weather Data Coverage
A new partnership between researchers and community members created a comprehensive network of weather stations across underserved areas of the city.
Machine Learning Could Enhance Earth System Modeling
Based on tests of a machine learning-based (ML) hybrid model, combining ML with established physics-based frameworks represents a promising path toward developing ML-based Earth system models.
Alaska’s Wildfires Heat the Planet, but Canada’s Cool It
Using 2 decades of satellite data, researchers learned that wildfires in North America don’t follow the same script: In western Canada, snow reflectivity drives a cooling effect, whereas in Alaska, permafrost burning leads to net warming.
