Earth system models are essential tools for studying complex planetary processes, including interactions between the atmosphere and biosphere.

The water cycle that shuttles Earth’s most vital resource around in an unending, life-giving loop is in trouble. Climate change has disrupted that cycle’s delicate balance, upsetting how water ...

In 2024, natural disasters related to variations in the water cycle caused more than 8,700 deaths and at least $550 billion of economic loss.

"If we want to predict the effects of climate change on Earth's water resources, we need data showing how the hydrologic cycle will respond at a small scale where we can define mechanisms ...

NASA scientists have uncovered significant changes in the global water cycle over the past two decades, largely driven by ...

The information is a missing piece of the puzzle in understanding the global water cycle and how that cycle is being altered by changes in land use and climate. A new study led by scientists in ...

A University of Hawaii at Mānoa study on the freezing of water droplets suspended in air sheds light on a key process in ...

The UN proclaimed the Decade of Action for Cryospheric Sciences 2025–2034 to advance scientific research of the cryosphere as critical to understanding our climate and water cycle.

Climate change is affecting the water cycle. As temperatures rise around the world, more water evaporates into the atmosphere. This is changing where rain falls and how much rain falls.

The "climate-changed fuelled heat" is then "drying ... saying that world governments must recognise the water cycle as a "common good" and address it together. Chas Newkey-Burden has been part ...
