Grist reports that penguin guano in Antarctica may help cool the region by forming clouds through ammonia release, but ...

Current climate models have so far been unable to adequately reproduce the clouds over the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

An ancient ice core from Mont Blanc has revealed 12,000 years of climate and human history, making it the oldest Alpine ice ...

Burning of fossil fuels, forests and grasslands sends small particles called aerosols into the air. High levels of aerosols can create a thick haze, cutting back on sunlight reaching Earth’s surface ...

Glaciers hold layers of history preserved in ice, offering unique insights into Earth's past that can also help us interpret ...

An ancient glacier high in the French Alps has revealed the oldest known ice in Western Europe—dating back over 12,000 years to the last Ice Age. This frozen archive, meticulously analyzed by ...

A 12,000-year-old Alpine ice core reveals Europe once endured massive dust storms and sea salt surges—evidence of a radically ...

Clouds play an important role in regulating the climate. Bright ones at low altitudes generally reflect solar energy away, whereas wispier ones up to 20,000 feet tend to trap heat. For atmospheric ...

For years, scientists have experimented with engineering techniques that can safely modify rainfall. But experts say the ...

Essentially, the sea-salt fine and ultrafine aerosol particles made the storms stronger, but the process ultimately cut off the source of warm, moist air, which crippled its growth.
