Infrared light provides scientists with temperature data and that’s important when trying to understand the strength of storms. NASA’s Aqua satellite provided those cloud top temperatures of Category 4 Hurricane Sergio in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.

When it comes to energy production, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, unfortunately.

Global warming is projected to spawn more extreme wet and dry weather around the world, according to a Rutgers-led study.

Over a dozen international researchers from the Ocean Solutions Initiative1—including scientists from the CNRS, IDDRI2, and Sorbonne University—have evaluated the potential of thirteen ocean-based measures to counter climate change. Their findings are published in Frontiers in Marine Science. They hope their analysis will inform decision-makers gathering in Katowice, Poland, for the COP24 conference in early December.

Even after 40 years of recovery, secondary forests remain species and carbon-poor compared to undisturbed primary forests, a new study reveals.

NASA’s Aqua satellite captured an infrared image of Hurricane Leslie that revealed strong storms circled the center.

The Industrial Revolution brought about many things: the steam engine, the factory system, mass production.

U.S. Geological Survey field crews are preparing to measure potential flooding across Arizona as remnants of Hurricane Rosa move across the state.  

Light-absorbing brown carbon aerosols, emitted by wildfires, remain longer in the atmosphere than expected, which could have implications for climate predictions.

NASA’s Aqua satellite provided an infrared view of Super Typhoon Kong-Rey as it continued tracking through the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Another Super typhoon, Trami, passed through the same area one week ago and cooler waters it left in its wake are expected to affect Kong-Rey.
