The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of ...

Climate change is speeding up the destruction of nitrous oxide in the stratosphere, introducing uncertainty into future greenhouse gases level.

The climate crisis is warming Antarctica fast, with potentially disastrous consequences. Now scientists have modeled the best ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

Last September, I traveled to this far north outpost as part of a research team from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Climate change brings Earth’s tipping points closer to collapse, threatening to unleash devastating, permanent environmental ...

Research has pointed to the dangers of heavier and wetter snowfall, even as the number of snowy days decreases overall in California’s Sierra Nevada.

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 ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...
