Atmospheric dust plays a dual role in Earth's climate: it reflects some sunlight back into space while also absorbing and retaining the planet's heat like an insulating blanket. But while dust likely ...
In a first, researchers realistically calculated how solar farms in the Gobi Desert improve air quality in northern Chinese ...
Ice core records stretching back hundreds of thousands of years show that airborne mineral dust, not carbon dioxide alone, played a leading role in driving some of the most dramatic climate shifts in ...
New UCLA research finds that airborne dust traps about twice as much heat as climate models have estimated, even though dust likely cools the planet overall. The effect of dust retaining heat is equal ...
The search for favorable astrophotography conditions has only gotten harder due to changing atmospheric conditions, ash and dust from wildfires and light pollution.
When a devastating heat wave, hurricane, flood or wildfire strikes, people often want to know: How much did human-caused climate change influence this event, if at all? For many years, scientists ...
