Temperature can Explain why the Greatest Variety of Aquatic Life Resides in the Tropics

The bulging, equator-belted midsection of Earth currently teems with a greater diversity of life than anywhere else -- a biodiversity that generally wanes when moving from the tropics to the mid-latitudes and the mid-latitudes to the poles.

Modeling the Impact of Different Warming Scenarios on the Antarctic Ice Sheet

The world is currently on track to exceed three degrees Celsius of global warming, and new research led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Rob DeConto, co-director of the School of Earth & Sustainability, shows that such a scenario would drastically accelerate the pace of sea-level rise by 2100.

Global Sea Level Rise Related to Antarctic Ice-Sheet Melting may be Greater than Anticipated

Global sea level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been significantly underestimated in previous studies, meaning sea level in a warming world will be greater than anticipated, according to a new study from Harvard researchers.
