A new study has found that 160 million small wetland patches release nearly one-quarter of methane emissions from wetlands ...

Atmospheric dust plays a dual role in Earth's climate: it reflects some sunlight back into space while also absorbing and retaining the planet's heat like an insulating blanket. But while dust likely ...

Airborne desert dust is doing more than just dirtying windshields, according to new work from UCLA researchers. Their study ...

Climate models provide reliable projections of many aspects of a warming planet over the next century and beyond due to human-caused climate change. Climate models are sets of mathematical equations ...

Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans ...

The fight against climate change is ongoing, and while we're still a long way from finding an actually sustainable solution, researchers at Yale say that imperfect climate models may actually be far ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

JBA Risk Management, a specialist company focused on flood hazard modelling and climate risk analytics, has introduced a new ...

Water from the Patuxent River overflows onto a road in Laurel, Maryland. Heavy rains have swollen the Patuxent river, forcing the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) to release water from ...
