A new report from the National Academies provides a comprehensive assessment of the current capabilities of extreme event ...

Computer simulations are vital to the work scientists and insurers do. The resulting studies may also be used to hold ...

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 ...

Global warming does not affect our planet evenly. Some areas such as the Arctic region or high mountain peaks warm faster than the global average, whereas others, including large parts of the tropical ...

The impossible RCP8.5 has been used as a reference case in more than 70 peer-reviewed articles despite its official ...

The Southern Ocean has long stood out as an oddity in the global climate system. While most of the planet's surface oceans have warmed in response to rising greenhouse gases, waters circling ...

Suppose you ask a meteorologist for a weather forecast to help with planning a picnic for tomorrow. She gives you a detailed, technically sophisticated weather forecast for Mars. Every equation ...

The Curiosity rover was sent up the Mount Sharp, the biggest sediments stack on Mars. On the way, it collected samples that indicated a portion of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere might have ...

Climate change threatens many plant and animal species not only when their habitats disappear as climatic conditions change, ...

It feels like there’s no escaping AI right now, whether you’re trying to type a sentence without being interrupted by a digital “assistant” or struggling to find a new refrigerator that doesn’t ...
