Scientists from South Africa, Germany, France, Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, the United States, and the United Kingdom, collaborated to assess to what extent human-induced climate change altered the likelihood and intensity of the recent heatwave in the UK. AOS Faculty Member Gabe Vecchi and Wenchang Yang …

AOS Faculty Member Gabriel Vecchi, deputy director of CIMES, told CNN that this is a signal of the climate crisis, and hot extremes outpacing cool extremes has been a notable trend in recent years.

"This is what you would expect from a planetary warming that's been driven in large part from greenhouse gases; this is…

Former AOS Postdoc and CIMES Researcher Sarah Kapnick was named NOAA’s chief scientist on July 7, 2022. Kapnick will serve as the senior scientist for the agency, advancing policy and program direction for NOAA’s science and technology priorities. She is the third woman in NOAA’s history to be appointed to this role.

AOS Senior Meteorologist Suki Manabe has been honored as one of America’s “Great Immigrants” by the Carnegie Corporation of New York in the philanthropical organization’s annual July 4 awards.

The Carnegie Corporation cited Manabe’s “groundbreaking work using mathematical models to predict climate change,” for…

Recent research has found that under a business-as-usual emissions scenario, marine ecosystems are likely to experience “mass extinctions on par with past great extinctions.” The reason? Ocean warming and depleted levels of dissolved oxygen.

The work of AOS Faculty Member Curtis Deutsch, professor of…

The Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI) recognized Yujin Zeng, an AOS associate research scholar, at the CMI Annual Meeting for outstanding published research.

Zeng was awarded the

Princeton University researchers report in the journal Science that unless greenhouse gas emissions are curbed, marine biodiversity could be on track to plummet to levels not seen since the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Ocean acidification (OA) is a consequence of the absorption of anthropogenic carbon emissions and it profoundly impacts marine life. Arctic regions are particularly vulnerable to rapid pH changes due to low ocean buffering capacities and high stratification. New research, led by John Krasting (GFDL) with AOS/CIMES and GFDL co-authors, applied…

For centuries, mathematicians have tried to prove that Euler’s fluid equations can produce nonsensical answers. A new approach to machine learning has researchers betting that “blowup” is near.

New work on the blowup of the Euler equations began in an unlikely place — with geophysicists, including AOS Faculty Member Ching-Yao…

AOS Postdoc Noemi Vergopolan won the 2022 Paul F. Boulos Excellence in Computational Hydraulics/Hydrology Award from the American Academy of Environmental Engineers and Scientists for her work on hyper-resolution land surface modeling. 

Noemi's current research aims to…
