On Jan. 7, 2024, a field team on the surface of Denman Glacier in East Antarctica walked a line about 14 kilometers long and stopped nine times. At each stop they set an instrument on the snow and…
Two statisticians have calculated how many measurements a methane campaign needs in each of six US oil and gas basins to keep sampling error in the basin's average emission rate within bounds. They…
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Animal and Plant Health Agency have confirmed 2,485 cases of bluetongue in the UK in the 2026 to 2027 season, more than the three…
A study published Oct. 2 in Communications Earth & Environment reports a link between phytoplankton blooms in the high-latitude North Atlantic and how much central Europe's vegetation grows over the…
About 2,000 billion metric tons of snow settle on the Antarctic ice sheet in an average year, and nothing else adds to it. Everything else that happens to the ice sheet takes mass away. So when the…
Nutrient pollution leaves more of the carbon buried in lake beds unprotected and easier to break down, according to a study published Oct. 2 in Communications Earth & Environment. Lake sediments hold…
The European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service reported on Oct. 2 that western Europe had its warmest summer in 2026 since its rankings began in 1950, averaging 21.7 °C across June, July and…
Forecasters at the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre used laser measurements from Europe's EarthCARE satellite to verify how high the ash plume from Anak Krakatau was reaching, the European Space…
Swiss glaciers lost more than 5% of their remaining ice over the 2026 melt season, the Swiss Glacier Monitoring Network (GLAMOS) and the Swiss Academy of Sciences' Commission for Cryosphere…
Over two years, 9.5% to 11% of the carbon dioxide that crushed basalt could in theory remove from the air left a Vermont watershed, dissolved in its stream, a team led by Yale University researchers…
Antarctica is very likely committed to losing ice over the rest of this century, meaning the loss is already locked in by warming that has happened, even if emissions fall sharply. Yucheng Lin of…
