New measurements shed light on the impact of water temperatures on glacier calving

“One of the greatest uncertainties surrounding future sea level rise is how glacier dynamics change when glaciers come into contact with warming waters. Our…

Climate impact of clouds made from airplane contrails may triple by 2050

Contrail cirrus change global cloudiness, which creates an imbalance in the Earth’s radiation budget – called ‘radiative forcing’ – that results in warming of…

Earthquake impact on submarine slopes: subtle erosion versus significant strengthening

Whereas most previous research assumed that sediment transport by earthquakes only happened by sliding of sediment packages (i.e. submarine landslides), that…

Earth observation network PollyNet gets new station in Asia

PollyNet stations in Finland, Germany, Greece, Poland, Portugal and South Korea are already continuously measuring dust in the atmosphere by laser. Further…

Looking for freshwater in all the snowy places

Snow's water content, or snow water equivalent (SWE) is a “holy grail for many hydrologists,” said Bart Forman, the project's principal investigator and a…

Do ice cores help to unravel the clouds of climate history?

For the first time, an international research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) has investigated atmospheric ice nucleating…
