Heat Absorption Oceans play a crucial role in absorbing excess heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, they take ...

Global warming is moving faster than the best models can keep a handle on. Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s ...

Earth system models (ESMs ... ESMs are composed of model components that simulate individual parts of the climate system (such as the atmosphere, ocean, land, and sea ice) and the exchange ...

Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical representations of key components and properties of the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere to construct computer models. These models ...

This may not sound important, but it turns out this process is critical in understanding the flow of carbon, in Earth’s climate system, where it goes and then where it finally resides.

In recent years, his research has helped to show that large climate changes tend to occur in the natural system as abrupt and rapid shifts in mode probably driven by internal adjustments in the Earth ...

2024 has been another challenging year for Earth's climate, marked by record temperatures, extreme weather events, and urgent warnings from scientists about the accelerating pace of global warming.

An Earth system model (ESM) is a type of climate model that combines components of the Earth's system: the atmosphere, oceans, land, ice, and biogeochemical cycles, to simulate interactions and ...

To consider how an Earth system science approach can inform research on climate intervention, The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a virtual workshop on June 20-22, 2023 ...

Research co-led by the University of Maryland reveals that drought and increased temperatures in a CO2-rich climate can ...
