Is statistical modeling for glacier loss accurate?
Glacier loss is a pressing concern worldwide, with ice melt impacting freshwater supplies, sea-level rise and ocean circulation. Often, global glacier models are employed to better understand the extent of this threat, such as a recent model that sho.....»»

Climate change: Alarming Africa-wide report predicts 30% drop in crop revenue, 50 million without water
African countries will suffer significant economic loss after 2050 if global warming is not limited to below 2°C, a new study by the Center for Global Development has found......»»
An 80-mph speed record for glacier fracture helps reveal the physics of ice sheet collapse
There's enough water frozen in Greenland and Antarctic glaciers that if they melted, global seas would rise by many feet. What will happen to these glaciers over the coming decades is the biggest unknown in the future of rising seas, partly because g.....»»
Unlocking the heat in mosquito modeling: Exploring disease transmission under climate change
Thermal adaptation is the ability of organisms to adjust their life history traits as the temperature changes. In the case of mosquitoes, these traits can determine their risk of transmitting mosquito-borne diseases and how this risk might change in.....»»
Earthquake research traces the pace of an approaching "seismic dragon king"
The 'Dragon King' theory was proposed based on the physics of complexity. According to this theory, 'Dragon King' events deviate from the power law distribution as a statistical outlier and, noticeably, have predictability......»»
Step aside, internal tides: Supercomputer modeling improves satellite altimetry precision
Waves don't take place just on the ocean's surface. Underneath the crests and troughs that we can see from above are internal tides, which form when tidal flows collide with seamounts, continental slopes, and ridges on the seafloor......»»
New discovery suggests significant glacial retreat in West Antarctica began in 1940s
Among the vast expanse of Antarctica lies the Thwaites Glacier, the world's widest glacier measuring about 80 miles on the western edge of the continent. Despite its size, the massive landform is losing about 50 billion tons of ice more than it is re.....»»
Good things don"t come in threes for Antarctic sea ice
As this month marks the third consecutive summer with extremely low sea-ice cover around Antarctica, new statistical research points to fundamental changes taking place in the polar Southern Ocean......»»
Study shows cloud clustering causes more extreme rain
Understanding cloud patterns in our changing climate is essential to making accurate predictions about their impact on society and nature. Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and the Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorolo.....»»
Carvana caps 2023 with quarterly loss, but analysts zero in on full-year performance
Analysts expect Carvana to try to return to growth — albeit more carefully than in years past — in 2024......»»
Protected lands provide a last stand for critically endangered vultures in West Africa
Among the fastest-declining birds in the world, African vultures battle many of the problems commonly plaguing wildlife today, such as habitat loss, hunting, and poisoning, but they also face a more unique set of obstacles......»»
Carvana posts narrower net loss in Q4; revenue falls 15%
The online used-car retailer reported a narrower fourth-quarter net loss attributable to it of $114 million. Revenue fell 15 percent to $2.42 billion......»»
VinFast Q4 net loss grows to $650 million as EV deliveries jump

Video: The latest science on tipping points in Antarctica
Ice loss from Antarctica has increased over the recent decades. The ice sheet in this remote continent covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. Even small changes in ocean conditions in the future co.....»»
Cooler, wetter parts of Pacific Northwest likely to see more fires, new simulations predict
Forests in the coolest, wettest parts of the western Pacific Northwest are likely to see the biggest increases in burn probability, fire size and number of blazes as the climate continues to get warmer and drier, according to new modeling led by an O.....»»
Google’s hidden AI diversity prompts lead to outcry over historically inaccurate images
Inserting depictions of diversity into AI images creates revisionist history, critics say. Enlarge / Generations from Gemini AI from the prompt, "Paint me a historically accurate depiction of a medieval British king." (credit: @s.....»»
