The algae that grows on patches of ice in Antarctica alters the albedo — or the ice's reflectivity — enough to make the ...

Albedo changes and carbon storage amounts are tracked to identify optimal locations for tree planting as a climate solution, ...

The startup is basically two guys from Silicon Valley who have been releasing weather balloons filled with hydrogen gas and ...

Cities having higher ambient temperatures than rural surroundings (known as the urban heat island effect) could offset some ...

Reindeer, often associated with wintry folklore and Arctic landscapes, are emerging as unexpected warriors in the battle ...

In contrast, cool surfaces with higher reflectance—or albedo—reflect more sunlight back into space, cooling cities and reducing the amount of heat reradiated from the atmosphere back to Earth.

Scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute analyzed satellite data and found that the Earth's albedo, or reflectivity, was at its lowest level since at least 1940. This decrease in albedo allows ...

While the transition to renewable energy is both urgent and complex, one startup solving the complexity associated with solar energy is SolarDuck.
