Heat shields keep incoming spacecraft from burning up in planetary atmospheres. Now we're learning that different atmospheres ...

With a new lab-based experiment, researchers in the UK and France have recreated the characteristic cascades of energy and angular momentum that underpin key features of Earth's atmosphere. Reporting ...

New study notes that warming boosts and weakens the molecule that removes 90% of atmospheric methane simultaneously.

The climate impact of flying isn’t just about carbon emissions. The contrails that airplanes create also influence the temperature of our atmosphere—and a new study finds that impact is set to grow in ...

The study of volcanic eruptions and their atmospheric effects offers critical insights into both natural hazard assessment and atmospheric dynamics. Explosive volcanic events not only discharge ...

Earth’s atmosphere reacted in surprising ways to the lowering of emissions during the pandemic, showing how closely climate warming and air pollution are linked. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting ...

It’s no secret that humans have made big changes to Earth and its atmosphere. But as greenhouse gases have built up in the air and our planet’s average surface temperature has risen, a lesser-known ...

Rising levels of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere aren’t just affecting climate on Earth — they could also make weather in space more dramatic, says new research. A team led by scientists from the ...

Chaos theorists refer to the “butterfly effect” to describe seemingly insignificant events — like the ripple of a butterfly’s wing — that can have unintended consequences. But there might be a more ...
