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.
Global Warming
At the Edge of the Lakes
Rising lake temperatures from climate change will disrupt aquatic life, especially in warmer regions, causing significant habitat shifts.
Cool Roofs in the City
Painting roofs white significantly reduce urban temperatures, offering effective heat mitigation in large cities.
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.
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.
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.
The Heat is On
Extreme heatwaves caused by climate change are becoming more frequent and severe, necessitating urgent action to mitigate emissions and help vulnerable populations adapt.
Climate’s Ledger
Taxing investments of the wealthy could fund climate action and promote climate justice.
