Freely Available Risk Model for Hurricanes, Tropical Cyclones

As human-driven climate change amplifies natural disasters, hurricanes and typhoons stand to increase in intensity. Until now, there existed very few freely available computer models designed to estimate the economic costs of such events, but a team of researchers has recently announced the ...

A Tongan Volcano Plume Produced the Most Intense Lightning Rates Ever Detected

New research showed that the plume emitted by the Hunga Volcano eruption in 2022 created the highest lightning flash rates ever recorded on Earth, more than any storm ever ...

Newly Planted Vegetation Accelerates Dune Erosion During Extreme Storms, Research Shows

Newly planted vegetation on coastal sand dunes can accelerate erosion from extreme ...

The Science Behind the Life and Times of the Earth's Salt Flats

Researchers have characterized two different types of surface water in the hyperarid salars -- or salt flats -- that contain much of the world's lithium deposits. This new characterization represents a leap forward in understanding how water moves through such basins, and will be key to minimizing ...

One Is Bad Enough: Climate Change Raises the Threat of Back-to-Back Hurricanes

由海平面上升和c的组合limate change, destructive hurricanes and tropical storms could become far more likely to hit coastal areas in quick succession, researchers found. ...

Why Do Earth's Hemispheres Look Equally Bright When Viewed from Space?

When seen from space, Earth's hemispheres -- northern and southern -- appear equally bright. For years, the brightness symmetry between hemispheres remained a mystery. In a new study, ...

More Frequent Atmospheric Rivers Hinder Seasonal Recovery of Arctic Sea Ice

The Arctic is rapidly losing sea ice, even during winter months when temperatures are below freezing and ice should be recovering from the summer melt. A new study found powerful storms called ...

Climate Change Likely to Uproot More Amazon Trees

Tropical forests are crucial for sucking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But they're also subject to intense storms that can cause 'windthrow' -- the uprooting or breaking of ...

Using Machine Learning to Help Monitor Climate-Induced Hazards

Combining satellite technology with machine learning may allow scientists to better track and prepare for climate-induced natural hazards, according to new ...

Cyclone Researchers: Warming Climate Means More and Stronger Atlantic Tropical Storms

Tropical cyclone researchers report a warming climate could increase the number of tropical cyclones and their intensity in the North Atlantic, potentially creating more and stronger hurricanes. In a ...

Coupled Computer Modeling Can Help More Accurately Predict Coastal Flooding, Study Demonstrates

Researchers used a unique coupled computer modeling approach to accurately recreate the coastal flooding that occurred during Hurricane Florence, demonstrating that it is more accurate than ...

Hurricane's Effects Killed Sturgeon in Apalachicola River

As hurricane Michael churned through the Gulf of Mexico to make landfall near Florida's Apalachicola River in 2018, it left a sea of destruction in its wake. The path was easy to follow on land, ...

Strongest Arctic Cyclone on Record Led to Surprising Loss of Sea Ice

The strongest Arctic cyclone ever observed struck in January 2022. A new analysis shows that while forecasts accurately predicted the massive storm, models seriously underestimated its effect on sea ...

Big Rains Bring Big Algae Blooms ... Eventually

A new study shows how soon after a storm phosphorus 'loading' sparks algae explosions, but also describes the many other factors that weigh on when and whether the lake reaches a tipping ...

Seagrass Crucial to Stemming the Tide of Coastal Erosion

Researchers show that seagrass can reduce cliff erosion by up to 70% thanks to its root mats binding the ...

When Cyclones and Fires Collide...

As strong winds and torrential rains inundate Australia's south-eastern coast, new research suggests that high intensity bushfires might not be too far behind, with their dual effects extending ...

Climate Change Strikes: Lightning Patterns Change With Global Warming

New research has shown climate change could alter lightning patterns across ...

Tropical Cyclones Act as 'Massive Heat Pumps' That Fuel Extreme Heat

Extreme heat often follows tropical cyclones, which can complicate disaster recovery even further, researchers have ...

Western Wildfires Spark Stronger Storms in Downwind States

A new study shows for the first time that wildfires burning in West Coast states can strengthen storms in downwind states. Heat and tiny airborne particles produced by western wildfires distantly ...

Ground-Breaking Research Finds Pelagic Seabirds Fly Into the Eye of the Storm When Faced With Extreme Weather Conditions

New research has found some pelagic seabirds fly directly towards the eye of a storm, which researchers think may help them avoid being forced onto land masses, reducing the risk of injury or ...

Cosmic Rays Used to Track and Visualize Tropical Cyclones Offer New Perspectives

High-energy muon particles created in the atmosphere have allowed researchers to explore the structures of storms in a way that traditional visualization techniques, such as satellite imaging, ...

Hundreds of Hospitals on Atlantic and Gulf Coasts at Risk of Flooding from Hurricanes

一项新的研究系统地调查洪水risk to hospitals on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts from Category 1-4 storms and finds that even relatively weak storms pose a serious flood risk to ...

Climate Models Unreliable in Predicting Wave Damage to Coral Reefs

A new study finds that climate models are unreliable when it comes to predicting the damage that tropical cyclones will do to sensitive coral ...

Zapped Survivors: Some Tropical Trees Won't Be Defeated by Lightning
