A study by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities offers new insights into how alternating corn and soybean crops can help increase crop yield in a changing climate. The research is ...

Earth’s climate may be more sensitive to pollution from greenhouse gas emissions than we had hoped, which could mean limiting the rise in global temperature to less than 2°C will be more difficult.

Something unexpected happened in the climate science community over the past two years. While global temperatures soared to unprecedented levels in 2023 and 2024, researchers found themselves unable ...

Climate is the average state of the atmosphere and the underlying land or water, on time scales of seasons and longer. Climate is typically described by the statistics of a set of atmospheric and ...

Clouds are important for Earth's energy balance because they interact with radiation in different ways. On one hand, low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and thus cool Earth through a property ...

High-sensitivity climate models should not be excluded when predicting future regional climate impacts because the level of warming measured globally is not always the only good indicator of regional ...

Summer is a time for educators and students to recharge. For educators, this opportunity to reflect and regroup often includes planning for how to support students in the next school year. It is ...

Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beetles, shape global food production and support vast natural ecosystems. For years, efforts to protect these critical species have leaned on broad ...

Scientists discovered that Antarctica’s ice sheet became dramatically more climate-sensitive after crossing a critical threshold one million years ago.
