A new study by scientists at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS), the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, NOAA’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML), and the National Oceanography Centre found that the strength of the Florida Current, the beginning of the Gulf Stream system and a key component of the global Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, has remained stable for the past four decades.

Ikaite is a special form of limestone that often forms in very cold seawater, in the polar oceans. A study led by Stockholm University researchers suggests that this highly unknown mineral plays an important role in the ocean's uptake of carbon dioxide.

The Line Fire in Southern California is giving rise to massive billowing “fire clouds.”

Heavy and localized rainfall over urban areas could lead to increased flooding in cities.

Puffy, white convective clouds popped up in the hills around Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego throughout the afternoon of September 9, 2024. 

A new study from the USC Viterbi School of Engineering researchers, along with researchers from the Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris at the University of Paris Cité, has found that the increase in soil erosion in coastal areas due to desertification is worsening flood impacts on Middle Eastern and North African port cities.

In a cutting-edge study published in the prestigious journal "Energy & Environmental Science", researchers from the Interface Science Department at the Fritz Haber Institute have introduced a novel method for converting the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) into ethanol, a sustainable fuel. 

Methane concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere increased at record speed over the past five years. 

Imagine you’re a NOAA weather forecaster in the field during a raging, rapidly-spreading wildfire.
