Dormant volcanoes–sealed under ice for millennia–could erupt, striking suddenly with explosive force as glaciers melt. When they are thick, they[…]

Storms are at least as good as drought and temperature in explaining the patterns of tree mortality and forest carbon[…]

BURP’S EFFECT Massive emissions, or burps, of carbon dioxide from natural earth systems led to significant decreases in ocean oxygen[…]

The window to stay within 1.5°C is rapidly closing. The remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C is estimated to be exhausted[…]
