Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace ...

Organic carbon decomposition in soil varies significantly and in regional patterns, driven in part by factors such as soil minerals and microbial properties that have been underrepresented in carbon ...

For over five decades, scientists have been striving to predict Earth's future climate. The progress has been remarkable, yet the task is daunting. As global warming accelerates, our ability to ...

Researchers developed a rating system to evaluate the plausibility of climate model simulations in the IPCC's latest report, and show that models that lead to potentially catastrophic warming are to ...

A research team has evaluated a collection of climate models to better understand how well they can simulate multiyear El ...

Nadir Jeevanjee works for NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, which is discussed in this article. The views expressed herein are in no sense official positions of the Geophysical Fluid ...

Soil stores more carbon than Earth's atmosphere and plants combined, which makes the speed of soil carbon's decomposition an important variable in models used to predict changes to our climate.
