[ad_1] It was a depressing inevitability, if expected, when the Rowley Shoals of Western Australia showed the first signs of mass coral bleaching earlier this year, but a follow-up survey found that a Notable recovery seems likely to preserve the reef’s near pristine health – at least for now. Tom …

[ad_1] An international team of climate scientists, including two from the University of Michigan, suggests that researchers using numerical models to predict future climate change should include simulations of past climates when evaluating the model’s performance. “We urge the climate modeling community to pay attention to the past and actively …

[ad_1] IMAGE: A recent study examining carbon storage in Pacific Northwest forests showed that although large-diameter (21-inch) trees made up only 3% of total stems, they accounted for 42% of the total … More Credit: the authors Older, large-diameter trees have been shown to store disproportionately large amounts of carbon …

[ad_1] This was a record week for global hurricanes as powerful storms hit both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean basins, leaving scientists wondering if they are harbingers of a more destructive climate-warmed future or if they are outliers that put limits to the test, but they remain within the realm …

[ad_1] New research led by a team of international sea ice experts led by the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) detailed the likely results of Arctic sea ice contraction and highlighted the urgent need for further research to inform the future decision making and climate modeling. Led by …

[ad_1] An international team of coastal scientists has rejected suggestions that half the world’s beaches could go extinct over the course of the 21st century. The claim was made by European researchers in a paper published in Nature Climate Change in March 2020 (Sandy coastlines under threat of erosion by …
