New research from the University of St Andrews has shed light on a crucial mechanism of lowering atmospheric CO2 during Earth's past ice ages.

Modelers have demonstrated that artificial intelligence (AI) models can produce climate simulations with more efficiency than ...

One of the most notable properties of the giant planets in our solar system—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—are the ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of ...

A Rochester Institute of Technology mathematician helped develop a new modeling method to explore the relationship between the Earth’s atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and surface temperature over ...

Atmospheric rivers—the massive bands of water vapor that deliver crucial rainfall to regions worldwide—are steadily moving toward Earth's poles, a shift that could dramatically alter precipitation ...

Tokyo, Japan – Operators have pumped water to cool the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) since the accident in 2011 and treated this cooling water with the Advanced ...

High above our heads and unseen to the naked eye, rivers of water vapor flow through the atmosphere. These "atmospheric rivers" are crucial to the global water cycle. Astonishingly, they have the ...
