Nov 19, 2014Current climate models probably overestimate the amount of carbon that will be released from soil into the atmosphere as global temperatures rise, new study says.
-
Nov 18, 2014Harvard scientists say aspects of solar geoengineering can--and should--be tested without need for full-scale deployment.
-
Nov 15, 2014A new analysis of NASA airborne data finds that methane is not being released from Alaskan soils into the atmosphere at unusually high rates.
-
Nov 12, 2014A new study shows that instead of carbon dioxide creating a blanket to slowly warm the planet, the story of climate change is a little more complicated - though the ending is, unfortunately, the same.
-
Nov 8, 2014Two astrophysicists argue that questions about the future of life on Earth and beyond may soon be resolvable scientifically, by combining the earth-based science of sustainability with the space-oriented field of astrobiology.
-
Nov 7, 2014New research indicates the Arctic Ocean traps more energy from far-infrared radiation than previously estimated, which likely contributes to the warming of the polar climate.
-
Oct 28, 2014A new study shows that circulation of the ocean plays an equally important role in regulating the earth’s climate.
-
Oct 17, 2014Researchers study tiny fossilized organisms to better understand how global marine life was affected by a rapid warming event more than 55 million years ago.
-
Oct 8, 2014Sea ice surrounding Antarctica reached a new record high extent this year, covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long-term satellite record in the late 1970s.

Oct 1, 2014A new model shows that the Greenland ice sheet is more sensitive to climate change than previously thought, which would accelerate the rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities worldwide.
