A recent study in Nature Communications used data from the NASA and USGS Landsat 8 satellite to identify a major gap in global resilience to climate change: cities in the Global South have far less green space — and therefore less cooling capacity — than cities in the Global North.

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers propose a new method to generate meteorological data that takes into account the interdependence of meteorological factors, such as temperature, humidity, and solar radiation.

A newly-discovered fossil amphibian survived the dry seasons between monsoons by using its oddly-shaped head to burrow into riverbeds. These strange fossils were given a name in the Shoshone language by Indigenous junior high students in Wyoming.

New Curtin University-led research has uncovered what may be the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, revealing the planet may have been habitable at some point in its past. 

ACM, the Association for Computing Machinery, today presented a 12-member team with the ACM Gordon Bell Prize for Climate Modelling. The award recognizes innovative parallel computing contributions toward solving the global climate crisis.

A new study in the journal Nature shows that the oceans were less cold in the early 20th century (1900–1930) than previously thought. During this period the ocean appears too cold due to the way some measurements were taken. This makes global ocean surface temperature measurements during this period inconsistent with both land air temperatures and palaeoclimatic data and the differences between land and ocean are larger than shown in climate models.
