How climate change boosts hurricanes

Scientists are sounding the alarm on human-caused climate change's impact on hurricanes such as Idalia, which rapidly intensified over a warm Gulf of Mexico before making landfall in Florida on Wednesday.

Scientists study how planetary waves affect atmospheric dynamics

Physicists at St Petersburg University have studied planetary waves and discovered that they can generate disturbances in the stratosphere causing extreme warming and cooling in the Arctic and mid-latitudes. Numerical modeling ...

Crawford Lake: What the past can teach us about urban living today

When I heard that Crawford Lake in southern Ontario was selected as the "Golden Spike" candidate for placing the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch in 1950—essentially, the best place in the world to show how humans impacted ...
