A newly defined type of heatwave is reshaping spring across the western U.S., with major consequences for snowpack, floods, and water supplies.

Unseasonably warm weather that rapidly melts snowpack is becoming more widespread in the U.S. West and happening earlier in the year.

San Francisco has a $17 billion plan to save its waterfront from rising seas. Now comes the hard part: funding it.

New research found that adjusting a key model variable may give more accurate predictions of glacial retreat.

An early spring California heat wave is feasting on what’s left of the Sierra Nevada snowpack, raising wildfire and drought concerns.

While growing bodies of scholars have examined the separate effects of extreme heat and COVID-19 on migrant farmworkers in the United States, we are unaware of any study examining their potential comb...

The field of extreme event attribution (EEA) has rapidly developed over the last two decades. Various methods have been developed and implemented, physical m...

Offsetting the global warming caused by anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gases by deliberate injection of aerosols into the stratosphere is the most studied of solar radiation management geoengineering schemes. The long-term success or failure of such schemes in achieving their stated goals is assessed by comparing simulated geoengineered temperature, precipitation and tropical cyclones metrics to equivalent fields in the simulated targeted climate simulations. Results using available data sets from three single model stabilized climate target experiments and three multimodel climate change reduction experiments are presented and compared against a measure of internal variability. While all but one experimental scheme is successful in achieving their targeted global mean annual surface temperature, their success at regional scales varies significantly and is often larger than the internal variability metric used here.

Figuring out how anomalously high temperatures can rise is taking on added importance as the planet warms.
