Climate Network Analysis Helps Pinpoint Regions at Higher Risk of Extreme Weather
Tracking climate behavior could connect the dots between major weather events and help with forecasting on a global scale.
Ocean Circulation, Ice Melt and Increasing Tourism Could All be Contributing to Arctic Microplastics
Scientists measured microplastic concentrations in the highly productive Barents Sea and suggest that ocean circulation, ice melt, tourism, inadequate waste management, shipping and fishing are all likely contributors.
Drought on the Rio Negro
July through October fall within the dry season in the western and northern Amazon rainforest, but a particularly acute lack of rain during this period in 2023 has pushed the region into a severe drought.
World May Have Crossed Solar Power ‘Tipping Point’
The world may have crossed a “tipping point” that will inevitably make solar power our main source of energy, new research suggests.
Researchers Test Seafloor Fiber Optic Cable as an Earthquake Early Warning System
One of the biggest challenges for earthquake early warning systems (EEW) is the lack of seismic stations located offshore of heavily populated coastlines, where some of the world’s most seismically active regions are located.
