Partnership between US-Qatar aims to find buried water in Earth’s deserts
Researchers will design a mission to learn about underground aquifers in areas such as the Sahara and how climate change will affect them in the future.
Report: water alert as climate change deepens
Climate change has not stopped for COVID-19.
Ice sheet melt on track with ‘worst-case climate scenario’
A recent report confirms that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, whose mass-loss rates have been rapidly increasing, are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's worst-case sea-level rise scenarios.
Increasing Arctic freshwater is driven by climate change
New, first-of-its-kind research from CU Boulder shows that climate change is driving increasing amounts of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean.
Protecting estuarine cities from rising sea levels
As climate change raises sea levels, estuarine cities are facing up to the dual threat of flooding and significant erosion.
Warming Greenland ice sheet passes point of no return
Icebergs near Greenland form from ice that has broken off--or calved--from glaciers on the island.
Treading on shrinking ice
Geophysicist Marco Tedesco has an affinity for ice in all its forms–snow, glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice–and has spent his career exploring its qualities and fates.
Stunning forecast: a century of ice loss for nearly 100,000 glaciers
The ice in one of the world’s highest concentrations of non-polar glaciers could see significant melting before the end of the century, potentially affecting sea levels around the globe, according to a new computer model from the NASA Sea Level Science Team.
Increasing Arctic freshwater is driven by climate change
New, first-of-its-kind research from CU Boulder shows that climate change is driving increasing amounts of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean.
Ice melt linked to accelerated regional freshwater depletion
Seven of the regions that dominate global ice mass losses are melting at an accelerated rate, a new study shows, and the quickened melt rate is depleting freshwater resources that millions of people depend on.
Sea level could rise more than 1 metre by 2100 if emission targets are not met
Global mean sea-level rise could exceed 1 metres by 2100 and 5 metres by 2300 with unchecked emissions, a survey among 100 leading international experts finds.
Greenland ice sheet meltwater can flow in winter, too
Findings underscore need for year-round investigations of Arctic hydrology.
World Meteorological Day focuses on climate and water
One of the biggest impacts of climate change is on water, which in turn affects sustainable development and security.
Greenland lost 600 billion tons of ice last summer
UCI, NASA JPL project tracking Earth-sensing satellite turnover yields striking results.
Increasingly mobile sea ice risks polluting Arctic neighbors
The movement of sea ice between Arctic countries is expected to significantly increase this century, raising the risk of more widely transporting pollutants like microplastics and oil, according to new research from CU Boulder.
Awareness and knowledge to face the climate crisis
The denial of climate change or its anthropogenic causes is a position that, although defended by a minority, has powerful political and economic allies that amplify and encourage it.
Six-fold increase in polar ice losses since the 1990s
Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice faster than in the 1990s and are both tracking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s worst-case climate warming scenario.
UN report highlights increasing signs and impacts of climate change in atmosphere, land and oceans
The tell-tale physical signs of climate change such as increasing land and ocean heat, accelerating sea level rise and melting ice are highlighted in a new report compiled by the World Meteorological Organization and an extensive network of partners.
Melting ice, the climate change we can see
The loss of ice on Earth is one of the most worrying and visible consequences of global warming.
Rust offers a cheap way to filter arsenic-poisoned water
By Ali Sundermier. In regions that lack the resources to treat the contaminated water, it can lead to disease, cancer, and even death.
