Heat waves and cold spells aren’t always as dramatic as hurricanes and tornadoes, but they can be just as dangerous. New research might soon enable forecasting of these events months in advance.
Planned burns in grasslands, shrublands, and farmland affect air quality and health, but few studies have investigated how different crops contribute to pollution. A new study examines how much the crop type matters in the Eastern United States.
Between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, enhanced water mixing is causes colder sea surface temperatures. A new study finds sea surface temperatures are influenced on daily and seasonal timescales.
