The gooier marine snow is, the better it is at transporting carbon, new study finds
In the deep sea, it never stops snowing. The type of snow that falls in the ocean, known as marine snow, is very different from the flaky geometric wonders that fall on land. Marine snow describes tiny clumps of organic and inorganic detritus—think mucus, poop, silt, dead plankton, etc.—that rain from the shallows…
Thousands of Handwritten Records Reveal Scale of Warming in the Congo
The Congo Basin is one of the few places on Earth where the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has failed to track the long-term shift in extreme heat and rainfall. The reason is a lack of readily available data. To fill this gap, scientists have digitized thousands of handwritten weather records, which reveal…
Climate fingerprints reveal stronger evidence of human-caused warming after more than 30 years
The scientific evidence for human-caused global warming is stronger than ever, according to a major new review—despite a U.S. government report questioning the science.
Hurricane Simon churns off Mexican coast after shift in course
Hurricane Simon shifted track slightly on Sunday and was forecast to skirt Mexico's west coast without making landfall, while packing heavy rain and severe winds.
El Niño sets temperature record in key Pacific zone: EU monitor
An intensifying El Niño broke a temperature record in a key zone of the Pacific in September, the EU's climate monitor said Monday, in another sign the weather pattern is gaining exceptional strength.
NASA captures a stunning transformation in Australia's red outback
Australia's normally dry, rust-colored outback has erupted into a spectacular carpet of wildflowers after unusually heavy rains, potentially producing its most impressive bloom in nearly 20 years. NASA satellite images capture the stunning transformation, which has even brought rare flowers to the grounds of a remote…
Rescued weather records reveal hot days became nearly twice as common in the Congo Basin over two decades
New research led by Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and published in the journal Earth System Dynamics shows a clear warming signal across the Congo Basin since the 1960s, using historical weather records from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). These records come from the paper archives of the Institut…
At least 4 dead as cyclone Isaias drenches southern U.S.
Four people died in the southeastern United States as post-tropical cyclone Isaias posed flooding and tornado risks Saturday as it moved northward after making landfall on Florida's Gulf Coast.
Hurricane Simon strengthens as it nears western Mexico
Hurricane Simon strengthened into a powerful Category 4 storm and was expected to make landfall or skirt the coast of west-central Mexico on Sunday, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center.
South Korea completes trial of Arctic shipping route
A South Korean container ship returned on Sunday from a trial voyage through the Arctic, testing an alternative route opened by melting sea ice as conflict in the Middle East disrupts global shipping.
New algorithm could predict Arctic sea ice up to 9 months ahead, offering new climate insights
Researchers at the Mubadala Arabian Center for Climate and Environmental Sciences (ACCESS) at NYU Abu Dhabi have developed a new algorithm that can forecast Arctic sea ice extent up to nine months in advance, offering a new way to anticipate changes in the Arctic that can affect the global climate system. The research…
