A new UN-backed report reveals some of history's worst drought events since 2023, driven by climate change and resource pressure.

Thirsty Atmosphere: How Rising Evaporative Demand Fuels Global Droughts

Droughts are worsening worldwide, but it’s not just rainfall that’s changing. The atmosphere itself is becoming thirstier. A new study shows that...

NASA’s EXCITE Mission to Explore Exoplanet Atmospheres

Scientists and engineers at NASA are gearing up to launch the EXCITE (EXoplanet Climate Infrared TElescope) mission, designed to probe the atmospheres...
New research from Harvard reveals human activity, specifically global dam construction, has visibly shifted Earth's magnetic poles. Discover how water impoundment reorients our planet's spin axis and impacts sea levels.

Earth’s Oxygen-Rich Atmosphere Faces a Transient Future

Recent studies suggest that Earth's current oxygen-rich atmosphere, which has been a stable condition for millions of years, is not a permanent state. Instead, it is predicted to transition back to a methane-dominated atmosphere similar to its composition billions of years ago. While this atmospheric shift is not expected for another billion years, scientists anticipate a rapid and significant transformation once it commences.
In a groundbreaking revelation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) scientists have uncovered an unexpected presence of metal-infused particles in the stratosphere, well over seven miles above Earth's surface. These particles, containing various metals from satellites and spent rocket boosters, have been vaporized by the intense heat generated during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Burnt Rocket, Satellite Pollute the Atmosphere

SOFIA ‘s First Detection of Heavy Oxygen in Earth’s Upper Atmosphere

TheStratospheric Observatory for Infra red Astronomy(SOFIA) made the first-ever measurement of heavy atomic oxygen in Earth’s upper atmosphere. With...
Over 50 world leaders and 1,500 delegates will meet in Nice from 9-13 June 2025 for the third UN Ocean Conference (UNOC 3). The goal: stop the silent collapse of the ocean ecosystem. The conference will unite governments, scientists, businesses, and civil society under one urgent mission.

Heating Ocean Hard to Remove Atmosphere CO2

The heating of waters in the ocean due to climate warming has led to a slowdown of deep circulation patterns in the...

Carbon Dioxide in Exoplanet Atmosphere

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captured the first clear evidence for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of a planet outside the solar...
Emission reductions in the 11 high-income countries that have managed to "decouple" CO2 emissions from Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been deemed insufficient to meet the ambitious goals of the Paris Agreement, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Planetary Health journal.

Sucking carbon from atmosphere through direct air capture to save the world

On Earth day, the world always talks of zero emissions and a greener world, which always gains significance. In a world where...
scientists uncover micro/nano plastics in city air at levels 100-1M times higher than prior estimates—road dust and rain drive atmospheric spread. First 200nm detection warns of climate, health crisis.
