What happens after a snowball Earth melts?
When a snowball Earth deglaciates, the planet transitions rapidly into a hot "supergreenhouse" climate that persists for a hundred thousand years or…
Coupled climate models systematically underestimate the radiation response to surface warming
Do climate models realistically represent the coupling between Earth’s surface warming and the top-of-the atmosphere radiation? Dirk Olonscheck,…
Including icebergs in computer models helps to better understand past climate change
In their new study Olga Erokhina and Uwe Mikolajewicz showed that adding icebergs to climate models can help scientists better understand the…
