Researchers used paleoclimate data, modeling, and measurements of sea surface temperature to learn more about future climate. They used the Western Pacific Warm Pool, seen here in 2016, as a reference ...

Schematic evolution of shear stress during earthquakes on an idealized unit area fault surface highlighting the main energy sinks: newly created surfaces (ES), radiated energy (ER), frictional heat ...

Warm water flowing into fjords and beneath ice shelves will continue to be a prime cause of glacial melting as global temperatures rise. This melting will, in turn, contribute to sea level rise and ...

A crowd beats the heat with spray from a fire hydrant in Seattle. A new method for measuring urban heat exposure shows that more densely populated neighborhoods may face higher heat and longer hot ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped this image of Jupiter’s moon Ganymede in 2021. New experiments might help scientists identify exotic forms of ice present in Ganymede’s interior and brought to the ...

Enterprise Rupes, a large fault that cuts across the Rembrandt Basin crater (the large crater on the right) on the surface of Mercury. This fault—and many others like it—may have resulted from the ...

An algal bloom in the Gulf of Alaska in April 2017. Credit: NASA/Goddard/NPP, CC BY 2.0 Smelting metals and burning coal vaporize small amounts of iron. Some of this iron wafts out of East Asia and ...

As the global climate continues to warm, fire seasons have intensified, and large-scale wildfires have become more frequent in many parts of the world. Factors such as vegetation type, land use ...

Dymer Creek (foreground) flows into the Chesapeake Bay near the town of White Stone, Va. The pH of coastal waterways such as the Chesapeake is influenced by both the acidification of the ocean and the ...

In high-latitude Arctic fjords, warming seas and reduced sea ice are boosting seaweed growth. This expansion of seaweed “forests” could alter the storage and cycling of carbon in coastal Arctic ...

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is a proposed method of carbon dioxide sequestration that involves spreading crushed silicate minerals on soils to drive chemical reactions that form carbonate minerals: ...

A translation of this article was made by Wiley. 本文由Wiley提供翻译稿。 As climate change continues to drive global sea level rise, many people living in coastal areas are already seeing the effects. Coastal ...
