Warming Hole: Consequence of Human-Driven Changes

UM Rosenstiel School researchers investigated a pattern of temperature change in a stretch of water in the subpolar North Atlantic region known as a warming hole, which has been cooling over the past century, using a cutting-edge climate model.

Is Climate Change Prolonging the Effects of Space Debris?

According to a recent study from the British Antarctic Survey, rising CO2 levels in the Earth’s atmosphere will cause a long-term drop in air density at high altitudes.

Study Discovers Past Breakdown Events Related to the Collapse of Great Atlantic Circulation System

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), a system of ocean currents that carry warm water from the tropics into the North Atlantic and transport cold water from the northern to the southern hemisphere, is a fundamental mechanism for the regulation of Earth's climate.

Forecasts of Future Arctic Carbon Emissions

Permafrost in the rapidly melting Arctic will probably release as much carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere as a large industrial nation by the end of this century, preferably more than the United States has emitted since the beginning of the industrial revolution.

Study Reveals High-Altitude Contests Between Mountain Goats and Bighorn Sheep

A new study from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Colorado State University, and the National Park Service indicates previously unknown high altitude contests between two of America's most sensational mammals – mountain goats and bighorn sheep – over access to minerals previously unavailable due to the past presence of glaciers which, now, are vanishing due to global warming.

Thawing Permafrost in the Rapidly Warming Arctic can Lead to Large Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Thawing permafrost soils in the rapidly warming Arctic will emit as much greenhouse gas as large industrial nations by the end of this century, according to a University of Alberta researcher involved in an international study that stresses to policy makers that it's not too late to act to stabilize the climate and avoid exceeding temperature targets.

Wildfire Emissions in 2020 Negate California’s Greenhouse Gas Reductions

A new analysis led by researchers with the University of California has found the 2020 wildfires in the state, the most disastrous wildfire year on record, put twice as much greenhouse gas emissions into the Earth's atmosphere as the total reduction in such pollutants in California between 2003-2019.
