AOS Faculty Member Isaac Held, a GFDL senior research scientist, was awarded the 2018 Roger Revelle Medal on December 12 by the American Geophysical Union for his pioneering work to answer some of the biggest questions about the structure of our atmosphere and how its large…
Since satellite records of sea ice began in the 1970s, the world's poles have shown a contrasting picture. While Arctic sea ice levels have fallen steadily over the past few decades, Antarctic sea ice levels have shown a less clear trend -- increasing for several decades before falling to new lows in the last few years.

The Southern Ocean is one of humanity’s allies, slowing global warming by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But now researchers report that the choppy waters around Antarctica are also quietly belching out massive quantities of CO2 during the dark and windy winter, reducing the ocean’s climate…
Princeton and University of Iowa researchers, including lead author Wei Zhang, a former AOS visiting associate research scholar (currently an assistant research scientist at Iowa's IIHR- Hydroscience and Engineering research center), and Princeton co-author AOS Faculty Member Gabe Vecchi, professor of Geosciences and the…
With increasing carbon dioxide from human activities, more acidic water is reaching the deep sea, dissolving some calcite-based sediments, say an international team of researchers, including AOS Research Oceanographer Robert (Bob) Key and Brian Arbic
Since 1991, the world's oceans have absorbed an amount of heat energy each year that is 150 times greater than the energy humans produce as electricity annually, suggesting that Earth is more sensitive to fossil-fuel emissions than we knew, according to a study by…
New research that looks at the devastating 2017 Atlantic hurricane season projects that if similar weather conditions occur in the future, it’s likely that the number of major hurricanes (category 3 and higher) would increase by two in a similar active year at the end of century.
