A new map reveals that the USA's impervious surface area equals Ohio's, with significant environmental implications. Increased ISA affects ecosystems, alters stream channels, and degrades wetlands, impacting biodiversity and climate change mitigation.
A new study reveals that a slowdown in ocean circulation was directly tied to sudden and dramatic changes in climate. The research found that the Atlantic Ocean's north-south overturning circulation played a crucial role in regulating regional temperatures.
A University of California study suggests that melting Greenland ice could lead to a significant drop in North Atlantic Ocean salinity, triggering colder climates in Northern Europe and Eastern Canada. The research found that elevated Caribbean salinity, transported by the Gulf Stream, amplifies heat transport systems.
A Scripps research study uses remote imaging techniques to accurately measure breaking waves, providing insights into ocean currents, heat transfer, and aerosol production. The findings will inform two new projects aiming to understand hurricane dynamics and thermodynamics.
