The results of a study conducted by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicate that the Great Lakes will lose less water in the near future than what other investigations proposed they would.
Understanding how this critical economic area will react to global warming and climate change ... |

On July 8, 2011, photographer Ray Boren was able to capture this amazing view of virga clouds above Great Salt Lake, in Utah. These clouds are amazing because precipitation falling from them does not reach the ground, but rather evaporates in mid-air.
This natural phenomenon provides an impressive view, as water d... |

Scientists have determined that, as global warming causes average Arctic temperatures to increase, tundras have higher chances of suffering devastating fires, such as the September 2007 Anaktuvuk River Fire.The natural disaster, which took place in Alaska's North Slope, affected more than 1,000 square kilometers... |

While you would expect forests to have a cooling effect on the environment during heatwaves, new research suggests that this is not the case when the extreme atmospheric events set in. When temperatures start rising at the start of an ensuing heatwave, woodlands are actually a lot slower to cool the air than grasslan... |

New evidence would appear to suggest that forests can at times support the development of heatwaves, but also show that the trees ultimately promote cooling, if the heatwaves spans a long period of time.At first, when temperatures soar, trees reduce the amount of evaporation they usually produce. This leads to a rise... |

According to a new study, the large numbers of cracks that are etched across crater basins on the surface of Mars were created by evaporating lakes. Their properties are consistent with those of similar formations back on Earth, experts from the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research say. An analytical model ... |
