The West Coast continental shelf is known to host methane bubble streams, formerly thought to be rare.

New research reveals frequency of glacier detachments from mountain rock.

The new model incorporates historical data from distant meteorological events like El Niño and La Niña, as well as data from multiple locations at several time points.

The Brazilian Amazon rainforest released more carbon than it stored over the last decade – with degradation a bigger cause than deforestation – according to new research.

Global sea-level rise associated with the possible collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been significantly underestimated in previous studies, meaning the sea level in a warming world will be greater than anticipated, according to a new study from Harvard researchers.

From the Pacific Northwest to the Rocky Mountains, summers in the West are marked by wildfires and smoke.

New research indicates that the computer-based models currently used to simulate how Earth’s climate will change in the future underestimate the impact that forest fires and drying climate are having on the world’s northernmost forests, which make up the largest forest biome on the planet. 

In August 2016 a massive storm on par with a Category 2 hurricane churned in the Arctic Ocean. 

Ice ages are not that easy to define. It may sound intuitive that an ice age represents a frozen planet, but the truth is often more nuanced than that. 

NASA scientists have set out to transform the way the agency measures Earth's energy budget — a key gauge of climate health.
