Atmospheric dust plays a dual role in Earth's climate: it reflects some sunlight back into space while also absorbing and ...

Airborne desert dust is doing more than just dirtying windshields, according to new work from UCLA researchers. Their study ...

We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere ...

The Earth's climate system derives its energy from the Sun and any variations in the balance between energy received and emitted by the Earth can change the climate. Variations can be caused by ...

Climate science sits at one of the most charged intersections of human knowledge and human politics. Almost everyone has an opinion about it, yet very few people have taken the time to carefully ...

The Adriatic Sea and its coastal regions are increasingly exposed to climate variability and extreme events, posing significant challenges to communities, ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

The largest gains in carbon biomass are projected in the desert and semi-arid zones, followed by the trans-Himalaya, Indo-Gangetic Plain, and Deccan Peninsula ...
