Scientists dig into wildfire predictions, long-term impacts

Wildfires are an ancient force shaping the environment, but they have grown in frequency, range and intensity in response to a changing climate. At the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, scientists are ...

Improving wildfire predictions with Earth-scale climate models

Wildfires have shaped the environment for millennia, but they are increasing in frequency, range and intensity in response to a hotter climate. The phenomenon is being incorporated into high-resolution simulations of the ...

Ocean skin helps regulate ocean carbon uptake, study finds

At less than one millimeter thick, the ocean skin—the ocean's uppermost layer—plays an outsized role in marine processes, orchestrating heat and chemical exchange between the sea and sky via diffusion. The water of the ...
