[Brown University] — In a finding that may help scientists better predict sea-level rise in a warming world, Brown University researchers have found an underappreciated factor…
From Brown University: Statistical physics offers an approach to studying climate change that could dramatically reduce the time and brute-force computing that current simulation techniques require. The new approach focuses on fundamental forces that drive climate rather than on “following every little swirl” of water or air. And yes, there’s an app for that. PROVIDENCE,…
UPDATE: The paper itself is available below. There is a new paper published yesterday in the journal Geophysical Research Letters from NASA GISS/Columbia University and Brown University titled Hydroclimate of the northeastern United States is highly sensitive to solar forcing Key Points Holocene northeast US hydrological change is consistent with solar forcing Small changes in…
From Brown University it seems we need a new variation on the popular bumper sticker: Over 65 million years North American mammal evolution has tracked with climate change Rise and fall of groups of fauna driven by temperature PROVIDENCE, R.I. — History often seems to happen in waves – fashion and musical tastes turn over…
