Have you ever noticed after a snowfall the outdoors seem quieter? There’s a good reason for this— snowflakes have their own individual shapes and sizes which create different acoustics.

Bands of men, dressed in paint-daubed boiler suits, are dipping mugs in buckets full of white paint and splashing the chalky ...

Loss of ice also reduces the Earth’s albedo (reflectivity), exacerbating warming. Scientists say sea levels are rising due to thermal expansion (water expanding as it warms) and the addition of ...

“Volcanic activity has been shown to affect Earth’s climate in a myriad of ways,” the authors write. “One such example is that eruptions proximate to surface ice will promote ice melting. In turn, the ...

“Implications are serious: the increased open water lowers the average albedo [reflectivity] of the planet, accelerating global warming; and we are also finding the open water causing seabed ...

Larkspur has decided against forming a committee to oversee its climate goals. The City Council directed the municipal staff Wednesday to instead provide bimonthly updates on climate goals.

Yield calculations in steep terrain, in combination with a highly reflective snow cover ... to be paid special attention to, such as the albedo of snow. This should raise confidence in simulation ...

Sadly, the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet shows no sign of slowing, in fact, due to a process known as the ice-albedo feedback—when less reflective ice surface decreases solar reflectance ...

albedo – the amount of sunlight they reflect, which affects how much of heat they absorb – and air quality. The National Oceanography Centre at Britain’s University of Southampton ...
