Earth & Climate Hypothesis / modeling
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.

Earth & Climate Moderate evidence
Tiny stratospheric particles contribute more surface area than expected
NOAA-led measurements found particles smaller than 0.11 micrometers can provide up to 90% of available surface area, with implications for atmospheric chemistry.

A DNA method detected red-tide algae down to a single cell
NOAA researchers developed a highly sensitive assay for Karenia brevis that could improve early warning before blooms become visually obvious.

New evidence strengthens the link between Siberian volcanism and Earth’s largest mass extinction
Stanford-led geochemical work connected the timing and environmental consequences of volcanism more tightly to the end-Permian biological crisis.
