By Ben Aris in Berlin The world is getting darker as the ice melts and that means it is absorbing more and more sunlight that ...

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

The albedo (brightness) of the earth depends on the amount of sunlight that it reflects, and this figure cannot be determined accurately by looking up from the surface. Even rockets shot above the ...

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

Albedo is building satellites to map and monitor the Earth with powerful precision and detail for use in agriculture, energy, mapping, and defense.

Albedo is a measure of Earth’s reflectance ... Oxygen-isotope evidence from ancient zircons for liquid water at the Earth’s surface 4,300 Myr ago. Nature 409, 178–181 (2001).

This innovative approach significantly improves the accuracy of key climate metrics, including top-of-atmosphere (TOA) albedo, surface shortwave downward ... and renewable energy applications. The ...

Scientists use computer models to project how hot earth will get as humans burn ... they have a larger impact on the surface albedo because they're bringing extra energy into the snowpack, which ...
