When it comes to world building, some authors really put the effort in. In a new study, climate scientists attempted to model the environments of Westeros and Middle Earth – from A Song of Ice and ...
A renowned research and modeling organization's most recent forecast shows the planet could see a strong or "Super El Nino" ...
The Miocene, beginning approximately 23 million years ago, represents a canonical "warm-Earth" interval characterized by elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer global climate. The El Niño–Southern ...
In this spirit of rigorous worldbuilding, we just published a new study where we merged the disparate disciplines of literary worldbuilding and climate modelling. We used complex computer programs – ...
Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...
In the study, researchers compared two such parameterizations: one developed by Fox-Kemper in 2011 and another developed in 2023 by co-author Abigail Bodner ScM’20 PhD’21, assistant professor of Earth ...
The ICON model can be used for weather forecasting as well as climate predictions and long-term projections. So far, however, the different applications have been developed separately. An initiative ...
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 ...
Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.
Despite what some want you to believe, climate science on earth is very well understood and accurately modeled.
The world’s largest climate modeling initiative is quietly ramping up its next project, but U.S. participation is a wild card ...
Increased use of ACs as the planet warms could create what researchers call a “feedback loop,” and higher emissions.
