Nothing could be better for this purpose than Sir William Ramsay's book on “The Gases of the Atmosphere,” for here we have a first-hand account of modern discoveries in a connected and highly ...

January’s record heat highlights how human-driven ocean warming is increasingly overwhelming natural climate cooling patterns ...

This is determined by using the isotopes of carbon in atmospheric CO 2 to identify its different sources, with measurements of carbon-13 and carbon-14 relative to carbon-12. Concentrations of the ...

Its plunge back to Earth through the atmosphere may have generated 45.5 ... concentrations of these damaging gases and particles could quickly rise. The pollutants could thwart the recovery ...

Earth's climate has changed throughout history for numerous reasons, but modern climate change is driven by human behavior.

Unlike often under laboratory conditions, CO 2 makes up only a small proportion of the gas mixture in flue gases or the atmosphere ... you have a different problem: CO 2 is converted to carbonate ...

There's a new race in space, but it's not where you might think. It's happening close to home – in the nearest bit of space, ...

As the rocks, the air, and the seas warm, they radiate “heat” energy (thermal infrared radiation). From the surface, this energy travels into the atmosphere where much of it is absorbed by water vapor ...

SwRI is studying how Saturn’s largest moon maintains its thick atmosphere. Scientists think Titan’s core is covered by several layers of ice and a subsurface liquid ocean. New experiments indicate ...
