Matthew England will present an in-person lecture on how oceans protect humanity from rapid climate change but with dire long-term effects.

“Typically, I feel prepared,” Susan Morley-Zender, a New Orleans, Louisiana, resident told VOA when asked about the upcoming start of hurricane season, “but this year I’m much more anxious.” Hurricane season is a six-month window – from June 1 through the end of November – in which the U.S. states along the Gulf of Mexico…

June 1 start of the Atlantic hurricane season brings unease, painful memories for Louisiana residents who survived catastrophic monster storms

ArcGIS software was used to analyze the spatial distribution of Mid Holocene (i.e., 6.7-3.1 ka BP) human settlements and sites in the Dalian area. Their evolution was studied in depth alongside the Mid Holocene environmental background known to have existed. The results showed that: ① The number of ancient settlements in the Dalian area increased during this period. Most sites during the three periods studied were to be found 0 to 50 m above sea level (asl), with a significant increase in the ...

Laurence Hawker is a Senior Research Associate in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. His work focuses on developing flood models, supporting disaster response and developing elevation and population datasets. Currently, I work on a number of projects developing and improving hydrodynamic models in data-sparse regions, namely in Africa (with a focus on Congo Basin and Mozambique) and Vietnam. Recently, along with several co-authors, I have published a 30m resolution...

The global water cycle is enhanced under a global warming scenario, which is a significant concern due to its deep socioeconomic consequences worldwide. This article will look at recent research published in the Scientific Reports journal.

For the seventh year in a row, University of Arizona hurricane forecasters say to prepare for an above-average hurricane season, which runs from June 1 through Nov. 30.

Researchers have predicted that by 2100, the Wasatch Mountains in Utah could be void of snow, due to the effects of climate change.

“Marine heatwaves” (MHWs), also defined as discrete and sustained extreme oceanic warm water episodes, have been the subject of numerous recent studies. Such disasters have devastating effects on marine biodiversity and the regional fishing economy.
