Have you ever stopped to wonder how forecasters can predict the weather days in advance, or how scientists figure out how the ...

Duke postdoctoral fellow Dimitris Floros’ connection to climate research came while studying power systems and their networks as a Ph.D. student in network science at the Aristotle University of ...

We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...

Organic carbon decomposition in soil varies significantly and in regional patterns, driven in part by factors such as soil minerals and microbial properties that have been underrepresented in carbon ...

However, because many climate models underestimate how much liquid is already present in today's clouds, they assume a larger shift still lies ahead. As a result, they overestimate how much extra heat ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds. One of the most ambitious projects humankind has ever undertaken has now ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

CO2 can stimulate plant growth, but only when enough nitrogen is available—and that key ingredient has been seriously miscalculated. A new study finds that natural nitrogen fixation has been ...
