Advanced computer models can quantify the impacts of climate change and other environmental challenges, providing deep insights into things like streamflow, vegetation, wildlife and even the risk of ...

Climate scientists present a realistic supercomputer simulation that resolves the complex interactions between fire, vegetation, smoke and the atmosphere. The authors find that increasing greenhouse ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds. One of the most ambitious projects humankind has ever undertaken has now ...

Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to ...

In a time of increasing climate variability, researchers Pengfei Xue and Miraj B. Kayastha have developed regional Earth system models to better understand and predict extreme weather and ...

Comparison of Arctic Ocean FSLE snapshots from the two simulations during March. Brighter regions (high FSLE) indicate more vigorous horizontal stirring. Left panel: present-day conditions; right ...

Extreme fire seasons in recent years highlight the urgent need to better understand wildfires within the broader context of climate change. Under climate change, many drivers of wildfires are expected ...
