A research team, led by Prof. Meng Qingyan from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully developed the Global Spatiotemporal Fusion Model (GLOSTFM), a high-efficiency spatiotemporal fusion model that […]

Tropical marine low clouds play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate. However, whether they mitigate or exacerbate global warming has long remained a mystery. Now, researchers from the School of Engineering at the Hong […]

A new study analyzed nearly four decades of deep ocean observations to reveal significant cooling and freshening of deep water in the Subtropical North Atlantic. The results suggest that warmer, saltier deep waters observed across […]

Methane emissions from a large open-cast coal mine in Australia are three to eight times higher than reported. This has been revealed in a study based on aircraft-based measurements by the University of Bremen and […]

New research from the University of Western Australia has highlighted the impact of the 2023–24 summer’s extreme heat and drought on Perth’s ecosystems.This post was originally published on this site

An international team of polar ecologists, geographers, and marine scientists has found that global warming has, over the past 20 years, melted enough glacier ice in Greenland that an additional 1,620 kilometers of that country’s […]

As flood threats rise, wetlands across South Carolina could play an important role in fending off high water before it soaks homes, businesses, roads and other property that people depend on.This post was originally published […]

New research into lithium mining in the “Lithium Triangle” of Chile, Argentina and Bolivia—source of more than half of the world’s lithium resources—shows that the commonly accepted models used to estimate how much water is […]

Humans have remodeled the Earth so profoundly that in 2000, atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen and biologist Eugene Stoermer proposed that the Holocene epoch had ended and the “Anthropocene,” or human epoch, had begun.This post was […]

Wetlands in the Middle Yangtze River Basin (MYRB) are facing significant ecological challenges due to climate change and human activities. A recent study investigated the spatiotemporal changes in wetland ecological quality from 2001 to 2020 […]
