The gap between simulated prediction and real-life observation in Arctic sea ice melt can be attributed to complicated internal drivers.

Business as Usual for Antarctic Krill Despite Increasing Ocean Acidification
A new Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS)-led study has found that Antarctic krill are resilient to the increasing acidification of the ocean as it absorbs more C02 from the atmosphere due to anthropogenic carbon emissions.
Back-to-the-Future Plants Give Climate Change Insights
If you were to take a seed and zap it into the future to see how it will respond to climate change, how realistic might that prediction be? After all, seeds that actually grow in the future will have gone through generations of genetic changes and adaptations that these “time traveling” seeds don’t experience.
How Hurricanes Michael, Florence May Have Spread Nonnative Species
Hurricane Florence’s floodwaters and Hurricane Michael’s storm surge caused obvious devastation to natural areas, but a subtler set of harms is harder to see.
Chinese Satellites Provide Advanced Solutions to Modeling Small Particles in the Atmosphere
The assimilation of aerosol optical depth (AOD) observational data from the Chinese satellite Fengyun-3A (FY-3A) can significantly improve the ability to model aerosol mass, according to Prof. Jinzhong MIN, Vice President at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology.
Hurricane Florence set at least 28 flood records in Carolinas
The U.S. Geological Survey has confirmed what many residents of the Carolinas already suspected: Hurricane Florence’s rainfalls brought with them record flooding.
