Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum Could Provide Clues to Future of Modern Climate Change

The rate at which carbon emissions warmed Earth's climate almost 56 million years ago resembles modern, human-caused global warming much more than previously believed, but involved two pulses of carbon to the atmosphere, researchers have found.

Supraglacial Lakes Can Increase Speed of Ice Sheet Melts and Flows

Predictions of Greenland ice loss and its impact on rising sea levels may have been greatly underestimated, according to scientists at the University of Leeds.

Funding Negotiations Nearing Completion for TRUTHS Satellite Mission for Climate Forecasting

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), in partnership with Airbus Defence and Space, is expecting to shortly complete negotiations with the UK Space Agency (UKSA) for the award of the final contribution to funding in excess of £1.25M. This funding will move the proposed TRUTHS mission a step closer to launch, and with it the prospect of the data needed to reduce uncertainty in climate forecasting.

Trees Can Save Home-Cooling Costs and Cut Carbon Emissions

A big tree next to your house can do more than just save home-cooling costs, it will also cut carbon emissions, University of Florida researchers say.

Climate Change Increases Vulnerability of Power Grids in Coastal Cities during Hurricanes

Cities like Miami are all too familiar with hurricane-related power outages. But a Johns Hopkins University analysis finds climate change will give other major metro areas a lot to worry about in the future.

Asking Precise Questions May Help Understand Relationship Between Global Warming and Extreme Weather

Extreme climate and weather events such as record high temperatures, intense downpours and severe storm surges are becoming more common in many parts of the world. But because high-quality weather records go back only about 100 years, most scientists have been reluctant to say if global warming affected particular extreme events.

Natural Reserves Managed by UC Riverside to be used in Study of Ecological Impacts of Climate Change

Three natural reserves managed by the University of California, Riverside will be involved in an ambitious plan to use the UC Natural Reserve System (NRS) to detect and forecast the ecological impacts of climate change in California.

Eastern Pacific Species Driven Northward Due to Climate Change

Anticipated changes in climate will push West Coast marine species from sharks to salmon northward an average of 30 kilometers per decade, shaking up fish communities and shifting fishing grounds, according to a new study published in Progress in Oceanography.

Current Rate of Climate Change Will Outpace Animals' Acclimation Capacity

Animals that regulate their body temperature through the external environment may be resilient to some climate change but not keep pace with rapid change, leading to potentially disastrous outcomes for biodiversity.

Spatial Patterns of Extreme Temperature Anomalies are Warming Even Faster than Overall Average

It's widely known that the Earth's average temperature has been rising. But research by an Indiana University geographer and colleagues finds that spatial patterns of extreme temperature anomalies -- readings well above or below the mean -- are warming even faster than the overall average.
