A new study shows that the intensification of global hydrological cycle drives more ocean heat uptake into the deep ocean and moderates the pace of global warming. A new study led by scientists at the ...

A research team has used changing patterns of salt in the ocean to estimate that between 1970 and 2014, at least two times more freshwater shifted from the equator to the poles than our climate models ...

I was sitting in a meeting yesterday watching extremely high rainfall rates from an unnamed tropical system passing through Georgia. As the rain hit the parking lot, some of it rushed to drains while ...

Beyond the rainforests, scientists are zeroing in on changes occurring to a natural water cycle that could forever alter the Amazon. The Amazon has always gone through periods of drought or abnormally ...

Wildfires, deforestation and global warming could permanently destroy the water cycle that sustains parts of the Amazon rainforest if action is not taken in the coming decades, according to a study ...

Mathew Barlow received travel funding from the US government to attend three IPCC lead author meetings. Water-related hazards can be exceptionally destructive, and the impact of climate change on ...
