Impact Studies Must Include High-Sensitivity Climate Models
High-sensitivity climate models should not be excluded when projecting future regional climate impacts because the level of warming measured globally is not always the only good indicator of regional changes, a new study suggests.
New Research Reveals Insights on Climate-Inspired Urban Design Projects
A pair of new studies by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science and the School of Architecture shed new light on the potential of climate-inspired architectural and urban design proposals, termed "climatopias," to effectively address climate change challenges.
AI Predicts Earth’s Peak Warming
Artificial intelligence provides new evidence that rapid decarbonization will not prevent warming beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Existing EV Batteries May Last up to 40% Longer than Expected
The batteries of electric vehicles subject to the normal use of real-world drivers – like heavy traffic, long highway trips, short city trips, and mostly being parked – could last about a third longer than researchers have generally forecast, according to a new study by scientists working in the SLAC-Stanford Battery Center, a joint center between Stanford University’s Precourt Institute for Energy and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Mars’ Infamous Dust Storms Can Engulf the Entire Planet. A New Study Examines How
Today’s weather report on Mars: Windy with a chance of catastrophic dust storms blotting out the sky.
