Wildfire Temperatures Key to Understanding Smoke Impacts
New NOAA-led research has found that the temperature of a wildfire is a better predictor of what’s in the smoke than the type of fuel being burned - a surprising result that will advance a wildfire smoke-modeling tool currently under development.
Historic Space Weather Could Clarify What’s Next
Historic space weather may help us understand what’s coming next, according to new research by the University of Warwick.
Tracking change in the Arctic
In Alaska, fish means work, food, and life for local communities. Understanding the complex interconnections of the U.S. Arctic ecosystem takes close collaboration among scientific experts of many backgrounds.
Scientists Trace Atmospheric Rise in CO2 During Deglaciation to Deep Pacific Ocean
Long before humans started injecting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal, the level of atmospheric CO2 rose significantly as the Earth came out of its last ice age. Many scientists have long suspected that the source of that carbon was from the deep sea.
Low levels of vitamin D3 may trigger the onset of Type 2 diabetes
In a rare study of its kind, new University of Toronto research has identified how vitamin D3 and periodontitis influence Type 2 diabetes.
