A new approach of studying the behaviour of surface films covering particles taken directly from the atmosphere has been developed by scientists.

Flood frequency analysis is a technique used to estimate flood risk, providing statistics such as the “100-year flood” or “500-year flood” that are critical to infrastructure design, dam safety analysis, and flood mapping in flood-prone areas.

Many firms have set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to comply with the Paris Agreement.

The new study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates how changes in temperature and plate tectonics, where the positions of Earth’s continents were in very different positions than today, have determined the distribution of corals through the ages.

Last June, Aaron Flansburg felt the temperature spike and knew what that meant for his canola crop.

As climate change shifts precipitation patterns, irrigation can be a powerful tool for increasing the world’s food supply—feeding more than a billion additional people without converting natural spaces into farmland, according to a new study by Carnegie’s Lorenzo Rosa published in Environmental Research Letters.

Researchers used satellite images to chronicle the historical expansion of eastern North Carolina’s swine farming industry.

Researchers note that modeling results could be used to improve nitrogen rate calculators currently in use.

NOAA’s real-time observations to aid Naval Base Kitsap and mariners

Were Earth’s oceans completely covered by ice during the Cryogenian period, about 700 million years ago, or was there an ice-free belt of open water around the equator where sponges and other forms of life could survive?
