Swiss glaciers lost 5.5% of their volume in 2026 and nearly 20% in five years, GLAMOS reports, as a record-hot summer pushed melt to the second-biggest on recor
A powerful El Niño is building. Here’s how it works, why Asia’s rains wobble, and how forecasters connect ocean physics to food prices and fire seasons.
Since 1979, Greenland and Antarctica lost 11.3 trillion tonnes of ice, raising sea level 3.14 cm; 84% came from faster glacier discharge, about a quarter of tod
Since 1979, Greenland and Antarctica lost 11.3 trillion tons of ice, raising seas 31.4 mm; 84% from faster glacier flow. Ice sheets now supply about a quarter o
Dust in Antarctic snow matches solar system cloud crossings, while 10% N2O under a 70% Sun warms Earth’s equator to about 41°F.
Europe’s record 2026 heat lays out the stressors that squeeze harvests and drive price spikes. Here are the numbers we know—and the gaps that matter.
A 76 km² iceberg just calved from Greenland’s Petermann Glacier. Here’s how cracks grow, how radar satellites caught it, and what happens to the ice next.
A new three-model analysis finds soil microbes may remove 40–45 gigatons of methane per year, far more than earlier estimates, reshaping the global methane budg
