How Heatwaves and Drought Combine to Produce the Perfect Firestorm
We know heatwaves and drought can turn bushfires into infernos, but the reasons why were poorly understood in science.
Scientists Look to Soils to Learn How Forests Affect Air Quality and Climate Change
Trees are often heralded as the heroes of environmental mitigation. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which slows the pace of climate change, and sequester nutrients such as nitrogen, which improves water and air quality.
Cooling Effect of Clouds Generated by Shipping Overestimated, Study Says
Finding has implications for one potential solar geoengineering strategy
Hurricanes and Typhoons Moving 30km Closer to Coasts Every Decade
The trend of tropical cyclones – commonly known as hurricanes or typhoons – increasingly moving towards coasts over the past 40 years appears to be driven by a westward shift in their tracks, say the study’s authors from Imperial College London.
Arctic Warming and Diminishing Sea Ice are Influencing the Atmosphere
The researchers of the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth system research at the University of Helsinki have investigated how atmospheric particles are formed in the Arctic.
