Nitrous oxide, better known as laughing gas, is often forgotten when considering major greenhouse gases.
Warmer temperatures lessen COVID-19 spread, but control measures still needed
Study shows that temperature changes have a smaller effect on transmission than policy interventions like lockdowns and social distancing.
The weather is getting weirder at our poles
New research suggests an increase in lightning strikes and liquid precipitation, which will affect sea level and penguin colonies.
What’s so special about rivers that run dry?
As an increasing global population moves into areas where non-perennial rivers are common, we need to understand how human water needs impact when, where, and how much these rivers flow.
Vaccinating the most vulnerable first may not have the greatest impact on COVID-19, new model suggests
A new simulator can accurately model COVID-19 and the effects of different mitigation strategies, which researchers say could help guide new policies to combat the pandemic.
