A pioneering climate scientist says global heating is accelerating. Others say we can still reach climate goals ...

Scientists have discovered microplastics in the snow near some of Antarctica's deep field camps, revealing how far-reaching ...

How would detecting methane help astronomers identify if exoplanets, or even exomoons, have life as we know it, or even as we ...

“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 ...

In June 2024, southern China experienced record-breaking heavy rainfall, resulting in devastating societal and economic ...

This situation creates feedbacks known as ice albedo feedbacks, where reduced ice cover decreases the Earth's albedo effect, leading to further warming of the atmosphere and worsening the melting ...

As a fresh graduate with a master of science in applied meteorology, she travelled to Antarctica to work with the British Antarctic Survey as a meteorologist. Over the next two and a half years ...

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 ...

Of course, you need some data about the object's physical characteristics—including its reflectance and albedo ... critical to link asteroid and lunar science in the era of Artemis and the ...

Ever wondered about the white lines stretching across the sky? These are contrails—condensation trails formed by aircraft ...
