Scientists Dig Into Wildfire Predictions, Long-Term Impacts
Wildfires are an ancient force shaping the environment, but they have grown in frequency, range and intensity in response to a changing climate.
Dune Patterns Reveal Environmental Change on Earth and Other Planetary Bodies
Researchers have analyzed the shifting patterns of entire dune fields on Earth and Mars, as seen from orbit, and found they are a direct signature of recent environmental change.
New Method Has Promise for Accurate, Efficient Soil Carbon Estimates
Earth’s soil contains large stocks of carbon — even more carbon than in the atmosphere. A significant portion of this soil carbon is in organic form (carbon bound to carbon), called soil organic carbon (SOC).
The Mystery of the Missing Antarctic Sea Ice
Winter sea ice in the Antarctic is at a historic low, and scientists are working to understand why an area of ice the size of Greenland is missing.
