Arctic Winter Sea Ice Hits a Record Low, Again
Sea ice in the Arctic has likely hit its maximum extent for the year, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said on 26 March. That maximum extent is one of the lowest ever recorded, tying last year’s record for the least sea ice coverage in the 48-year observational record.
Drilling Down to Open Up New Understanding of Earth’s Continents
Scientists have drilled into Earth’s crust for decades to understand natural hazards, past climates, energy resources, and more. They’ve only scratched the surface of what we can learn.
The Future of Earth’s Future
With the expansion of the journal’s scope, the Editor-in-Chief of Earth’s Future appoints three Deputy Editors to oversee new thematic areas.
Shrinking Sea Ice Is Ruffling Emperor Penguins’ Feathers
A scientist stumbled upon evidence of penguin molting sites in satellite data, but the sea ice these birds rely on is disappearing.
Volcanism Could Lead to Less, Not More, Atmospheric CO₂
The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide temporarily fell by 50% immediately preceding a period of intense volcanism, likely because of increased weathering, new results reveal.
Earth’s Climate Records Are Melting
An ice core from the Weißseespitze Glacier collected in 2019 gave researchers a peek into the history of Earth’s wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and anthropogenic activity. In the years since, much of the glacier has disappeared.
Temperatures Are Soaring in the Western United States. Climate Change is to Blame, Says a New Report.
A new rapid analysis by World Weather Attribution suggests that, based on a combination of observations and modeling, climate change has made the extreme temperatures forecasted for 18-22 March about 800 times more likely and 2.6°C hotter.
Earth’s “Green Wave” Is on the Move
Researchers analyzed 40 years of satellite data and found that Earth’s seasonal wave of greenness is shifting northeast.
How Frozen Ground Controls Water in a Warming World
Frozen ground acts like a hidden underground dam. As it thaws, water pathways shift, changing rivers, wetlands, ecosystems, and infrastructure across cold regions.
Next Generation Fluid Flow Solver for Earth System Modeling
A new fluid solver from the Climate Modeling Alliance sets a benchmark in atmospheric modeling, with unmatched consistency in moist thermodynamics, energy conservation, and CPU/GPU scaling.
