As the ocean warms because of climate change, the louder din could mask other marine animals’ calls used to navigate, forage, and find mates.

The Overlooked Role of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from Volcanoes
Volcanoes can warm as much as they cool. Prior simulations have neglected the important warming effects of sulfur dioxide emissions, making some results colder than they should be.
Earth Rocks and Moon Rocks Are More Different Than We Thought
New analyses of oxygen isotopes reveal terrestrial and lunar rocks aren’t as similar as previously thought, potentially changing the way we think the Moon formed.
Intensified Investigations of East Asian Aerosols and Climate
Three special collections in JGR: Atmospheres present a fast-growing body of literature on atmospheric aerosols and their impact on the regional climate in East Asia.
Climate Data You Can Trust
Creating, curating, and developing the repository of climate data that underlies the U.S. National Climate Assessments requires the ongoing efforts of hundreds of experts.
The Ecological Costs of Removing California’s Offshore Oil Rigs
Offshore oil- and gas-drilling platforms are rich habitats for fish, and removing them completely would result in a loss of over 95% of fish biomass, new research has revealed.
Implications of a Supervolcano’s Seismicity
Last year’s rumblings beneath New Zealand’s Taupō supervolcano, the site of Earth’s most recent supereruption, lend new urgency to research and outreach efforts in the region.
Why Does Ocean Warming Pattern Matter?
Ocean warming patterns are critical to climate science given their role in determining regional climate changes and modulating how much the globe may warm with elevated CO2 levels.
Slow Slip By Any Other Name
Earth’s faults slip most catastrophically as earthquakes. The rise of geodesy reveals an array of slower slip events, meaning faults are nearly always active. Are these behaviors really so different?
Combining AI and Analog Forecasting to Predict Extreme Weather
New deep learning technique brings an obsolete forecasting method “back to life” to predict extreme weather events.
