The world’s oceans could harbor an unpleasant surprise for global warming, based on new research that shows how naturally occurring carbon gases trapped in reservoirs atop the seafloor escaped to superheat the planet in prehistory.

Tropical Cyclone Oma continued to move southeast in the Southern Pacific Ocean, and continue affecting Vanuatu. NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite provided a visible image of the storm.

Images of extensive flooding or fire-ravaged communities help us see how climate change is accelerating the severity of natural disasters. 

A set of technologies that is expected to have its first results four years from now is designed to resolve one of the world’s greatest oil and gas exploration challenges today: carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emission in the atmosphere. 

Sea-level rise, sediment starvation and other environmental woes pose increasing threats to coastal wetlands worldwide. 

The effects of climate change are especially obvious in arid environments where resources are scarce and subject to seasonal availability. 

NASA's InSight lander has placed its second instrument on the Martian surface. 

More than 2.4 million miles of energy pipelines crisscross the United States. If assembled end-to-end, they would circle the Earth almost 100 times!

For the first time, a research team co-led by CIRES-based scientists, has directly observed an Antarctic ice shelf bending under the weight of ponding meltwater on top, a phenomenon that may have triggered the 2002 collapse of the Larsen B ice shelf. 

It’s official: GOES-17 is now operational as NOAA’s GOES West satellite.
