Climate models suggest that climate change could reduce the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2). However, observational data actually shows that this ability has seen no significant decline in recent decades.This post was […]

Ocean color satellites provide essential insights into water quality and ecosystem dynamics by estimating chlorophyll, suspended matter, and dissolved organic material. Atmospheric correction, the process of removing scattering and absorption from satellite signals, is central […]

Accurate land cover mapping underpins biodiversity protection, climate adaptation, and sustainable land use. Despite advances in remote sensing, satellite-only approaches remain limited by cloud cover, revisit intervals, and the lack of ground-truth data. Dynamic products […]

Land use and land cover (LULC) information underpins studies in climate science, disaster management, food security, and ecosystem protection. Advances in satellite imaging have improved resolution, but high-resolution land cover mapping still faces major hurdles.This […]

An international vote to formally approve cutting maritime emissions was delayed by a year Friday, in a victory for the United States which opposes the carbon-cutting plan.This post was originally published on this site.

With world leaders set to gather in Brazil for COP30 in November, new analysis from an international team of climate policy experts warns that carbon offsets are creating a critical barrier to achieving the Paris […]

Nearly 8 in 10 people living in multidimensional poverty—887 million out of 1.1 billion globally—are directly exposed to climate hazards such as extreme heat, flooding, drought, or air pollution.This post was originally published on this […]

Member states of the International Maritime Organization will decide on Friday whether to formally adopt a plan to cut carbon emissions in the face of opposition from the United States.This post was originally published on […]

A study led by University of Arizona researchers shows that decades of groundwater pumping by humans has depleted Tucson-area aquifers far more than natural climate variation. Published in the journal Water Resources Research, the study […]

Brazilian navigator Tamara Klink told AFP she encountered “very little” sea ice on her solo sail through the Northwest Passage—a rare feat that would have been impossible without an icebreaker ship three decades ago.This post […]
