New model points to increased coastal metal emissions

There is a high risk of increased metal emissions from coastal areas in the future. In a new model published in Limnology and Oceanography Letters, researchers from the University of Gothenburg show that climate change and ...

How humans are affecting the Northern Hemisphere's wind patterns

The summer of 2024 was the hottest on record and, unfortunately, this came as no surprise. Summers have been getting hotter and drier around the world, including in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to intense droughts and ...

Global assessment: How to make climate adaptation a success

Climate change is forcing people to adapt to changing environmental conditions. But what really makes the difference is how they do it. The recently published "Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024" by 73 authors shows that, ...

NOAA debuts first imagery from GOES-19

On Sept. 18, 2024, NOAA shared the first images of the Western Hemisphere from its GOES-19 satellite. The satellite's Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) instrument recently captured stunning views of Earth.
