With climate change, parts of the Arctic are seeing greater snowpack. Paradoxically, a thick blanket of snow can speed the melting of permafrost underneath, releasing buried stores of carbon, new research shows.

As NASA works to make data and research more meaningful and accessible to diverse public and scientific audiences, the agency’s Transform to Open Science (TOPS) program is supporting open science efforts and programs across a variety of scientific disciplines, including climate science and physical oceanography. 

With climate change, irrigating more crops in the United States will be critical to sustaining future yields, as drought conditions are likely to increase due to warmer temperatures and shifting precipitation patterns. 

The historically high heat waves that gripped the southwest United States and southern Europe this summer are causing problems for more than just humans.

Human-caused climate change is shortening the snow cover period in the Arctic.

Haunting images of the deadly wildfires in August that displaced thousands on Maui and tragically devastated much of the Valley Isle’s historic town of Lāhainā continue to send shockwaves across Hawaiʻi and the globe.

The mid-latitude storms would sometimes come like beads on a string, one right after another, stalling the research team’s efforts to deploy the critical ocean-monitoring instruments that sat secured on the deck of the 273-foot Roger Revelle.

Artificial intelligence could hold the key to feeding 10 billion people by 2050 in the face of climate change and rapidly evolving pests and pathogens according to researchers at The University of Queensland.

More than half of the world’s top fossil fuel producers will fail to meet climate targets unless they ramp up decarbonisation plans, according to an international team led by The University of Queensland.

Dry lightning can still be disastrous even when conditions aren’t so dry, a study has found.
