Scientists discover a natural Arctic cloud factory missing from climate models
A newly discovered Arctic process can dramatically boost the number of particles that help form clouds. Near melting sea ice, sunlight reacts with chemicals...
Air pollution linked to distinct brain changes in regions vulnerable to Alzheimer’s disease
USC researchers found that exposure to common air pollutants was associated with different patterns of cortical thickness in two groups of older adults, pointing...
Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found...
Threefold increase in atmospheric–riverine compound heatwaves under climate change
Record-breaking heatwaves disrupt global water, energy and food systems, yet the co-occurrence of atmospheric and riverine events remains largely unexplored. Here we analyse 796...
Deep convection only temporarily intensified by aerosols
A sudden rise in aerosols makes clouds more active for about a day. Then the effect fades as the atmosphere adjusts and warms aloft,...
China’s Chang’e-6 reveals why solar wind hits the Moon’s two sides differently
China’s Chang’e-6 samples have uncovered a surprising difference between the Moon’s two hemispheres. Solar wind particles penetrated deeper into the far-side soil because Earth’s...
GeoSphere Austria – Das Klimaportal
Das „Informationsportal Klimawandel“ der GeoSphere Austria versteht sich als Angebot zur Versachlichung der Debatte in Österreich. In wissenschaftlich korrekter und zugleich allgemein verständlicher Form...
Assessment Report on European Air Quality 2025
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) has published its Assessment Report on European Air Quality 2025, confirming improving air quality trends in Europe for...
Wie Vulkanaerosol das Klima beeinflusst, hängt von der Temperatur ab
Stratosphärisches Sulfataerosol, wie es durch sehr große Vulkanausbrüche entsteht, kühlt die Erde, weshalb es unter anderem als sogenannte Geoengineering-Methode diskutiert wird. Doch das Verständnis,...
Die Kryosphäre in einem sich verändernden Klima
Beobachtungen einiger Komponenten der Kryosphäre werden schon lange durchgeführt. Um jedoch den globalen Wandel zu bewerten, sind riesige Beobachtungsnetze, einschließlich in-situ-Stationen sowie Satelliten, erforderlich....
