U.S. Geological Survey coastal change experts have forecast that 78 percent of the sandy beaches from Florida to North Carolina are likely to undergo beach and dune erosion from the powerful storm.

U.S. Geological Survey scientists are quickly installing at least 150 storm-tide sensors [video] and at least 22 other instruments that will track the hurricane’s effects along the North and South Carolina coasts.

An international team of scientists have discovered evidence in the geological formations in a coastal cave showing that more than three million years ago – a time in which the Earth was two to three degrees warmer than the pre-industrial era – sea level was as much as 16 meters higher than the present day.

Another Atlantic Ocean basin depression formed while Hurricane Dorian is still wreaking havoc on the Bahamas and affecting the southeastern U.S. Infrared imagery from NASA’s Aqua satellite shows that Tropical Depression 7 in the western Gulf of Mexico has developed powerful thunderstorms with heavy rain capabilities.

NASA’s Aqua satellite passed over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and provided an image of Hurricane Juliette as its eye began to emerge.

With warming temperatures, average snowfall frequency is estimated to decline across the Pacific Northwest by 2100 — and at a faster rate if greenhouse emissions are not reduced, according to a new Portland State University study.

In the early hours of Tuesday, September 3, Hurricane Dorian had been stationary over the island of Grand Bahama for 18 hours, most of the time as a category 5 hurricane. 

Europe has enough solar and wind resources to meet its electricity demand entirely from renewable sources. 

New research has found that habitat loss is a major concern for hundreds of Australian bird species, and south eastern Australia has been the worst affected.

New, lower-cost help may soon be on the way to help manage one of the biggest threats facing the Great Barrier Reef.
