Sea level rise is predicted to be one of the most serious consequences of global heating: under the more extreme “business-as-usual” scenario, a 2-meter (6.5-foot) rise would flood 600 million people by the end of this century. The pattern of sea surface height change, however, is not uniform across the oceans. This image shows mean sea level trend...
Permafrost is permanently frozen ground and the vast majority of it lies in the Arctic. It stores huge quantities of carbon but when it thaws, that carbon is released as CO2 and an even more potent greenhouse gas: methane. Permafrost stores about 1,500 billion tonnesof carbon – twice as much as in the whole of the atmosphere – and it is incredibly ...
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an atmospheric pollutant that can have serious health impacts, especially for those who are asthmatic or have weakened lung function, and it can increase the acidity of rainfall with damaging effects on sensitive ecosystems and plant health. A major source is from internal combustion engines found in cars and other vehicle...
Animation viaESA/USGS/Deimos Imaging. Tropical forests have been described as the lungs of the planet, breathing in CO2 and storing it in woody biomass while exhaling oxygen. Deforestation in Amazonia has been in the news recently because of deregulation and increased forest clearing in Brazilbut it had been taking place, perhaps not so rapidly, fo...
The Antarctic Ice Sheet contains enough frozen water to raise global sea level by 58 meters if it all ended up in the ocean. The floating ice shelves that fringe the continent act as a buffer and barrier between the warm ocean and inland ice but they are vulnerable to both oceanic and atmospheric warming. This animation shows the break-off of a hug...
Oct 26, 2023 · Since Earth is where we live – and it’s the only planet we know of that we can live on – scientists are constantly observing its land, water, and air. By capturing images from the ground and images from satellites in the sky, we can see how our planet is different than it used to be.
1 day ago · Earth will reach aphelion on July 5, 2024. On July 5, our planet reaches its farthest from the sun for the entire year, a moment astronomers call aphelion. The sun is at its smallest in the sky ...
Jan 25, 2016 · Our vast network of radars, satellites, buoys, tide gauges, ships, aircraft, and supercomputers keep tabs on the condition of our planet's health and provides critical information that's used to predict changes in climate, weather, oceans, and coastlines.
Jun 14, 2024 · The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...
