The Earth is slowly losing its shine. Its reflectivity – or albedo – is declining, mostly due to vanishing ice cover and ...

We've even been asked if you could run solar cells during the long lunar night on reflected earthlight, so we decided to ...

Planting trees has become a widely praised, low-cost way to tackle climate change. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping to ...

Dust-on-snow is a major threat to water in the Colorado River, yet no snowmelt forecasts integrate dust-accelerated melt. Using pioneering remote sensing techniques, new research is the first to ...

albedo, surface shortwave downward radiation (SWDR), and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). By refining radiation measurements, this technology marks a major leap forward for climate science, ...

Slater decides that it is quite a bright planet, although rather blue. The albedo (brightness) of the earth depends on the amount of sunlight that it reflects, and this figure cannot be determined ...

A new study reveals that changes in plant life played a crucial role in accelerating major climate shifts during the Late ...

Neither founder is a scientist, but the science behind sulfur dioxide and solar reflectivity is sound. Humans accidentally proved the importance of sulfur dioxide in global albedo — the average ...

New research reveals that shifts in plant life played a key role in speeding up major climate changes during the late Miocene, a period spanning 11.6 ...

As the effects of climate change grow more severe, a team of leading scientists is launching a groundbreaking research ...
