According to a new Harvard study, ExxonMobil scientists provided climate projections between 1977 and 2003 that were accurate and proficient at foretelling future global warming and refuted the company’s public statements.
Extreme temperatures make people less likely to pursue outdoor activities they would otherwise make part of their daily routine, a new study led by MIT researchers has confirmed.
More than a century of preserved fish specimens offer a rare glimpse into long-term trends in parasite populations.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been working on testing and unlocking the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) on the recently launched Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP).
Climate-driven heating of seawater is causing a slowdown of deep circulation patterns in the Atlantic and Southern oceans, according to University of California, Irvine Earth system scientists, and if this process continues, the ocean's ability to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere will be severely limited, further exacerbating global warming.
A warming climate will increase the number of tropical cyclones and their intensity in the North Atlantic, potentially creating more and stronger hurricanes, according to simulations using a high-resolution, global climate model.
A team of researchers at Rice University has developed a rapid green recycling method that is able to make key battery components available for reuse.
The onset of the South China Sea summer monsoon (SCSSM), usually characterized by a simultaneous circulation–convection transition, marks the beginning of the East Asian summer rainy season.
The combination of global atmospheric warming and westerly winds shifting toward the poles will likely speed up the recession of mountain glaciers in both hemispheres, according to a UMaine study.
A typical example of Adirondack Park water is Rondaxe Lake in Herkimer County, New York. However, Rondaxe, like thousands of lakes in temperate zones around the world, has been losing a global-warming battle to keep oxygen in its waters during the last quarter-century.
