Researchers work to map shallow waters with freely available data and cloud computing.

Windy regions high in the atmosphere can transport pollutants like dust or soot thousands of miles around the world and disrupt everyday life for thousands of people.

The West Coast continental shelf is known to host methane bubble streams, formerly thought to be rare.

The new model incorporates historical data from distant meteorological events like El Niño and La Niña, as well as data from multiple locations at several time points.

The Brazilian Amazon rainforest released more carbon than it stored over the last decade – with degradation a bigger cause than deforestation – according to new research.

Humans have significantly altered biodiversity in all climate zones of the Earth. This has been shown by a study now published in "Science".

Global sea-level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been significantly underestimated in previous studies, meaning the sea level in a warming world will be greater than anticipated, according to a new study from Harvard researchers.

From the Pacific Northwest to the Rocky Mountains, summers in the West are marked by wildfires and smoke.

New research indicates that the computer-based models currently used to simulate how Earth’s climate will change in the future underestimate the impact that forest fires and drying climate are having on the world’s northernmost forests, which make up the largest forest biome on the planet. 

In August 2016 a massive storm on par with a Category 2 hurricane churned in the Arctic Ocean.
