Extending climate predictability beyond El Niño

At present computer simulations can predict the occurrence of an El Niño event at best three seasons in advance. Climate modeling centers worldwide generate…

Let it snow

Five years ago, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. Since then, scientists have continued to study the effects of the largest…

Necessity at the roots of innovation: The scramble for nutrients intensifies as soils age

“Plants cope with phosphorus scarcity in a similar way above-ground by making phosphorus-efficient leaves,” Turner said. “But below-ground they're using many…

New Mathematical Method Enhances Hydrology Simulations

Just as a racecar's engine needs the right fuel to get the best performance, so climate models need finely tuned parameters to accurately simulate the impacts…

Climate change in Antarctica: Natural temperature variability underestimated

The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the tipping elements in the climate system and hence of vital importance for our planet’s future under man-made climate…

New source of methane discovered in the Arctic Ocean

But there is another type of methane that can appear under specific circumstances: Abiotic methane is formed by chemical reactions in the oceanic crust beneath…
