Observational data suggest models are likely underestimating the amount of methane lost through atmospheric chemistry ...

Geoengineering does little to defuse most of the risks that really matter for people – and it runs the risk of making some harms worse ...

For the first time ever, scientists have observed in near real time a cloud of air pollution created as a SpaceX rocket burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

Scientists tracked lithium pollution from a SpaceX Falcon 9 reentry in real time, linking rocket debris to atmospheric changes using LIDAR measurements over Europe.

Frequent deployment of satellites and re-entries by the rockets that deploy them might pose a risk to the Earth's upper ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Tokyo used isotope-enabled ensemble modeling and 45 years of data to better trace ...

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 ...

Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and sometimes these atoms are slightly heavier than usual. These heavier forms are ...

Scientists have found a powerful new way to follow water as it moves around the planet—by tracking subtle “fingerprints” hidden inside its atoms.
