During the Last Glacial Maxium the atmosphere contained less than half as much CO2 as today. New study finds that both the biological carbon cycling and the ocean circulation were different. 

Mighty floods have carved out deep canyons on Earth. New research suggests this required less power than previously believed. Collecting such data, however, may be demanding. 

Limit global warming to 1.5°C and halve the land ice contribution to sea level this century

Injecting particles into the atmosphere would reduce the temperature increase. But for the world’s ecosystems there is no alternative to mitigation efforts.

The strongest cyclone ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere reached its peak just as it struck Fiji in 2016. A new study looks at the role of the ocean directly underneath the cyclone.

Rainfall patterns in China over the past half a million years may have been more like the present than previously thought. Gaowen Dai writes about his new study.

Sea level variations in Northern Europe are influenced by winds high above the Atlantic, new study shows. In the western part of the North Sea, the wind direction is more important than the wind speed.

Afforestation in Norway can increase local temperatures in spring by as much as 1 ^oC.
