Recommendations for responding to the Fridays for Future movement
The level of public concern about climate change has risen significantly in recent years. The Fridays for Future movement enjoys broad political and public support, but this has so far not translated into tangible changes. The Institute for Advanced Sustainability…

Data on emission amounts and sources have an important role to play in shaping policy on climate protection and air quality. Now, scientists from the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) in Potsdam, Germany, have presented the first high-resolution inventory…
Climate change and the threat to global breadbaskets
Climate change is not just resulting in a steady increase in temperatures, but also in an increased frequency and severity of extreme climatic events, like droughts, heat waves, and floods. These extreme conditions are particularly damaging for agriculture. Climate variability…

Satellite imagery shows Typhoon Kammuri’s center obscured
NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP or S-NPP satellite passed over the Philippine Sea in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean and found Typhoon Kammuri’s eye obscured. Since Kammuri has now entered the Philippine Area of Responsibility, defined by the World Meteorological Organization, the Philippine…
Evidence: Antarctica’s thinning ice shelves causing more ice to move from land into sea
Researchers have produced the first physics-based quantifiable evidence that thinning ice shelves in Antarctica are causing more ice to flow from the land into the ocean
Drone images show Greenland ice sheet becoming more unstable as it fractures
The world’s second-largest ice sheet, and the single largest contributor to global sea-level rise, is potentially becoming unstable because of fractures developing in response to faster ice flow and more meltwater forming on its surface. Using custom-built drones strong enough…

First measures of Earth’s ionosphere found with the largest atmospheric radar in the Antarctic
There’s chaos in the night sky, about 60 to 600 miles above Earth’s surface. Called the ionosphere, this layer of Earth’s atmosphere is blasted by solar radiation that breaks down the bonds of ions. Free electrons and heavy ions are…
Human migration out of Africa may have followed monsoons in the Middle East
MADISON, Wis. — Last year, scientists announced that a human jawbone and prehistoric tools found in 2002 in Misliya Cave, on the western edge of Israel, were between 177,000 and 194,000 years old. The finding suggested that modern humans, who…
