The Earth Rises to Meet the Sea
Predicting sea level rise is complex due to Antarctic Ice Sheet behaviour and Earth’s uneven structure. New models show land shape affects ice melt rates, improving accuracy.
Climate Change
At the Edge of the Lakes
Rising lake temperatures from climate change will disrupt aquatic life, especially in warmer regions, causing significant habitat shifts.
Shadows in the Sea
Marine heatwaves impact Arctic phytoplankton, crucial to ecosystems, with stable warming boosting productivity, but varied responses highlight the need to consider both warming and cooling phases for accurate predictions.
Pink and Swollen Shores
Soda lakes, vital for diverse species like the Lesser Flamingo, face threats from rising water levels and declining phytoplankton, stressing the need for improved management and monitoring in East Africa.
Blue Reflections of Time
Using 45 Meyer’s spruce samples, researchers in North China traced a 281-year temperature record, highlighting blue light reflection’s crucial role in unveiling climate changes and linking global patterns.
When the Sky Gathers Tears
Around the equator, heavy rainfalls and flooding impact millions. Research shows that global warming could intensify these events, challenging traditional forecasting methods.
The Fevered Climate
Analysing ancient climate records reveals how environmental changes and diseases shaped societies across the Roman Empire, emphasising the need for health considerations in modern climate assessments.
Retreating Futures
New satellite data and machine learning models predicts a third of European Alps’ glaciers will retreat by 2050.
Driven by Drought
Research on Africa from 1992-2013 shows droughts influence human migration towards water sources or cities, driven by environmental, political, and socio-economic factors.
Dissolving Depths
Increased carbon emissions are acidifying oceans, weakening the shells of plankton and marine life, threatening ecosystems.
