Sea ice is melting due to global warming, enabling greater maritime access to the Arctic Ocean. Emissions from transoceanic cargo ships taking advantage of this could either warm the climate further by darkening snow and ice surfaces or cool it by enhancing cloud reflectance. In a study published recently in the American Geophysical Union journal […]
Investigators from UCI’s Henry Samueli School of Engineering, Donald Bren School of Information & Computer Science, and School of Physical Sciences will work together in a new initiative, funded by the National Science Foundation, to perfect the use of data science in climate studies. The Transdisciplinary Research in Principles of Data Science plus Climate project […]
UCI, other researchers use machine learning to improve accuracy of climate prediction models
The American Geophysical Union will award its 2018 James B. Macelwane Medal to Steven Davis, UCI associate professor of Earth system science. The medal is given annually to a small group of early-career researchers for significant contributions to the geophysical sciences. The AGU noted Davis’ work in developing a science that links global climate change […]
Social ecology researchers take multiple approaches to finding solutions
Temperature increases during dry periods outpace average climate warming
Usually seen as less vulnerable, they carry the potential to add 16 feet to global sea level
Clean, low-cost energy for air travel, cement and steel, trucks and barges is critical
UCI scientists are part of international team conducting 25-year assessment
UCI scientists find new teleconnection for early and accurate precipitation prediction
