Drone Images Show Greenland Ice Sheet Becoming More Unstable as It Fractures
The world’s second-largest ice sheet, and the single largest contributor to global sea level rise, is potentially becoming unstable because of fractures developing in response to faster ice flow and more meltwater forming on its surface.
Researchers Develop Early Warning System for Water Pollution Using Tiny Water Fleas
The health of common water fleas like this one are being examined by University of Toronto researchers using a powerful instrument called a tandem mass spectrometer.
Genomic Gymnastics Help Sorghum Plant Survive Drought
A new study led by UC Berkeley researchers reveals how sorghum crops alter the expression of their genes to adapt to drought conditions. Understanding how sorghum survives harsh conditions could help researchers design crops that are more resilient to climate change.
New Maps of Salinity Reveal the Impact of Climate Variability on Oceans
Since the saltiness of ocean surface waters is a key variable in the climate system, understanding how this changes is important to understanding climate change. Thanks to ESA’s Climate Change Initiative, scientists now have better insight into sea-surface salinity with the most complete global dataset ever produced from space.
Why More Clouds Can Mean Less Rain in Australia
A giant, continent-sized cloud that dumps rain from Broome to Hobart has increased in frequency over the past 33 years, but its impact may not be what you expect.
