Unveiling the 3D Climate of an Alien World To map these atmospheric layers, the research team used the ESPRESSO instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), combining the power of all four ...

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached record highs in 2023, the U.N. warned, with countries falling "miles short" of what is needed to curb devastating global warming.

This imbalance is now substantially more than climate models have suggested. In the mid-2000s, the energy imbalance was about 0.6 watts per square meter (W/m 2) on average.

This suggests that microplastics in the air may affect weather and climate by producing clouds in conditions where they would not form otherwise. We are atmospheric chemists who study how ...

High above the earth, a cutting-edge satellite is passing around Earth 15 times per day. It is hunting for leaks of methane – an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the ...

Volcanoes erupting underwater have a distinctive effect on the climate that is larger and more widespread than previously thought, according to an international group led by University of Auckland ...
