Southeast Asia experiences heavy autumn and winter rainfalls, known as winter monsoons, which can lead to devastating floods and landslides. While the scientific community has extensively studied and understood summer monsoons, there is a lack of knowledge regarding winter monsoons. The absence of data from weather stations during certain periods has made it challenging to

Scientists have long relied on ice cores to study past changes in climate. However, the traditional methods of sampling ice cores have limitations that prevent a deeper understanding of temperature variations over time. In a groundbreaking study led by researchers from the Astro-Glaciology Laboratory at the RIKEN Nishina Center in Japan, a new laser-based sampling
Marine heat waves are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change, posing a significant threat to sensitive species. The excessive heat produced by carbon pollution has been largely absorbed by the oceans, leading to abnormally high water temperatures. While the impact of surface heat waves on marine life has been extensively
Hey there, stargazers and cosmic dreamers! Can you believe it? There’s a celestial event coming up that’s going to blow your mind! Get ready for the Sturgeon Supermoon – a once-in-a-lifetime extravaganza that’s gonna light up the night sky like never before! You might be wondering, “What’s a Sturgeon Supermoon anyway?” Well, let me tell
Get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the epic aftermath of Brexit and its impact on the Eurozone. This ain’t your average history lesson – we’re about to unravel the highs and lows with a personal touch! Let’s find out how this historic split shook the Eurozone to its core. Understanding Brexit:
Get ready to witness one of the most mind-blowing celestial events on Earth: the supermoon! Brace yourself for an experience that will take your breath away, as the moon comes closer to us than ever before, illuminating the night sky with its mesmerizing beauty. In this article, we’ll embark on an exciting journey into the
A team of researchers from Africa, Asia, and Europe has identified three criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of migration as a means of adapting to climate change. The study highlights the fact that migration is not a silver-bullet solution to climate risks and that it can create winners and losers. Remittances, which include flows of
Dust storms are a major ecological concern and have a significant impact on the climate. They pose a health hazard and can cause respiratory problems. The particles of dust travel freely from country to country and continent to continent and can spread pathogens, contributing to the outbreak of pandemics. However, an early warning for waves
Groundwater pumping has caused the Earth’s axis to shift and has contributed to sea-level rise, according to a new study published in Geophysical Research Letters. Using climate models, researchers estimated that humans pumped 2,150 gigatons of groundwater between 1993 and 2010, the equivalent of over 6mm of sea-level rise. The Earth’s rotational pole moves during
A new international study conducted by a group of scientists led by the Universities of Groningen and Birmingham reveals that protecting our planet from the impact of climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the global food system, which currently accounts for a third of man-made GHG emissions. The research suggests that unless
The use of seaweed farming to capture sufficient carbon to meet climate goals may not be practical due to the vast ocean areas required to remove between 2.5 and 13 gigatons of atmospheric carbon per year, according to a study published in Communications Earth & Environment. The research suggests that around one million square kilometers
New research by scientists at The University of Manchester suggests that areas of the ocean that are rich in marine life are having a bigger impact on our ecosystems and the climate than previously thought. The research has identified the primary source of urea, a nitrogen-rich compound vital for the growth and development of living
Recently, a graph showing a single red line that charts sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic Ocean went viral due to its startling display of unprecedented warming. The warming is nearly 2 degrees (1.09 Celsius) above the mean dating back to 1982, the earliest year with comparable data. Researchers are concerned about the huge
According to a study by researchers at the University of California, wildfires in California have consumed five times more area between 1996 and 2020 compared to the period between 1971 and 1995. The study found that nearly all of the increase in scorched terrain could be attributed to human-caused climate change. The researchers used climate
Boreal forests in North America are shifting northwards due to climate change. The shift is happening faster at the southern boreal boundaries than the northern ones, indicating that boreal forests are contracting on a continental scale. An international study led by Wageningen University & Research used 20 years of tree cover data from satellites to
