Vetting New Models of Climate Responses to Geoengineering
The Seventh Meeting of the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project; Newry, Maine, 26 July 2017
A New Model Yields a Better Picture of Methane Fluxes
Scientists update an old model with recent findings, allowing for a more accurate understanding of methane dynamics in wetlands.
How Earth’s Orbit Affected Ice Sheets Millions of Years Ago
A new study of the late Pliocene era could help scientists predict future sea level rise.
Looking Inside an Active Italian Volcano
Scientists use 3-D imaging to reveal Solfatara crater’s inner plumbing.
Atmospheric Particles Aren’t the Same Cloud Seeds They Once Were
Still, more than half of the seeds required for cloud droplets to form in both the present-day and preindustrial atmospheres are made by trace gases that condense to form minute aerosol particles.
Scientists Simulate New Mechanism of Fluid Flow in Earth’s Crust
Three-dimensional high-performance computer modeling reveals the behavior of fluid transport waves generated by chemical reactions that take place during metamorphism.
An 1888 Volcanic Collapse Becomes a Benchmark for Tsunami Models
When volcanic mountains slide into the sea, they trigger tsunamis. How big are these waves, and how far away can they do damage? Ritter Island provides some answers.
