The CENOGRID shows Earth has experienced four distinct climate states over the last 66 million years. The detailed climatic changes of the past can be…
With a launch planned in 2027, the Copernicus Polar Ice and Snow Topography Altimeter, CRISTAL, mission will carry, for the first time, a dual-frequency radar…
Sea ice can act as an agent of climate change on a variety of timescales and spatial scales—it’s not just a passive responder to change.…
This map overlays the probability of burn severity in California’s northern coastal mountains, as forecasted in a UC Davis study, with burn perimeters of wildfires…
