A rare total solar eclipse in Antarctica this weekend (Saturday 4 December) is giving researchers a unique opportunity to learn more about how solar eclipses affect space weather.
Red Sea Bioregions Show Changing Blooms
Red Sea phytoplankton blooms change seasonally and interannually in response to climatic events. A KAUST study has analyzed satellite data over two decades and its findings will underpin other investigations into how climate change could impact this marine ecosystem.
Trees Are Biggest Methane 'Vents' in Wetland Areas – Even When They're Dry
Most of the methane gas emitted from Amazon wetlands regions is vented into the atmosphere via tree root systems – with significant emissions occurring even when the ground is not flooded, say researchers at the University of Birmingham.
Mapping Marine Microplastics
Researchers used satellite data to detect and track masses of plastic floating in the ocean.
Too Dry, Too Hot, Or Too Wet: Increasing Weather Persistence in European Summer
Global warming makes long lasting weather situations in the Northern hemisphere‘s summer months more likely – which in turn leads to more extreme weather events, a novel analysis of atmospheric images and data finds.
