Our two-person team loaded the car with a GPS, a drone, notebooks, sample bags, a trowel and a flat spatula lovingly called a ...

What processes are responsible for contributing airborne microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs) to the environment? This is ...

In the big picture, Earth's wind patterns are driven by hot air rising near the equator and the rotation of the planet. This creates huge, looping currents of atmospheric circulation around the globe.

Wave-like landforms on Mars provide clues about the planet’s icy history, its potential to support life, and the behavior of ...

What is wind? Where does it come from, and why does it blow? Why are storm winds so strong? Are winds on other planets like they are on Earth? Read on for answers to these "blue-sky" questions and ...

AN ALIEN planet with traces of water and “complex weather patterns like Earth” might be seen like a good contender for a Planet B. But it would be impossible for us humans to survive th… ...

The instrument uses the Doppler effect to create real-time, 3D maps of wind patterns above the Earth’s surface, which historically has been difficult to capture.

Earth is under an “El Niño watch” as scientists eye signs that the climate pattern is developing. Its arrival could mean significant impacts worldwide, including a push toward levels of ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn reduces the area of highly reflective clouds, leading to additional warming.
