In the past decade, the marginal seas of Japan frequently experienced extremely high sea surface temperatures (SSTs).

The 2022 Northern Hemisphere summer was one of the hottest ever recorded in Europe with over 24,000 heat-related fatalities, and brought intense heatwaves to parts of China and North America.

Ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are on pace to surpass critical thresholds for coral health by mid-century, but rapid action to significantly reduce emissions could slow warming, giving corals and coral conservation programs as much as 20 more years to adapt, according to new research.

It was perhaps the most spectacular failed tree planting project ever.

Invisible shipping tracks had a clear impact on the properties of clouds they polluted. Surprisingly, the specific effects were different to those of visible shipping tracks.

The drought has contributed to below average yields, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service experts say.

The results represent an early step toward developing what researchers hope will become the ability to forecast whether a slow-moving landslide will collapse.

Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled water to stop themselves from collapsing.

A proposal to cover Arctic sea ice with layers of tiny hollow glass spheres about the thickness of one human hair would actually accelerate sea-ice loss and warm the climate rather than creating thick ice and lowering the temperature as proponents claim.

Some estimates of Antarctica’s total contribution to sea-level rise may be over- or underestimated, after researchers detected a previously unknown source of ice loss variability.
