Models project a threefold rise in simultaneous air and river heatwaves
Compound heat can stress people and aquatic ecosystems together, but the scale depends on emissions and impact-model assumptions.
Climate, oceans, ice, geology, weather and natural hazards explained with scale and uncertainty visible.
These hubs combine the newest records with method guidance and live counts from the database.
Future scenarios and Earth-system models explained as conditional projections—not precise predictions or excuses for false certainty.

NOAA-led measurements found particles smaller than 0.11 micrometers can provide up to 90% of available surface area, with implications for atmospheric chemistry.
NOAA researchers developed a highly sensitive assay for Karenia brevis that could improve early warning before blooms become visually obvious.
Stanford-led geochemical work connected the timing and environmental consequences of volcanism more tightly to the end-Permian biological crisis.
