One fun fact is that the Air Resources Laboratory has maintained a network of accurate United States climate data for over 20 years.

Ocean robots illuminate deep ocean warming

September 24, 2024

Observations from deep ocean robots and historic data from research vessels have heightened confidence that parts of the global deep ocean are warming at a rate of 0.0036–0.0072°F (0.002–0.004°C) each year.

How nitrogen from farms and wildfires affects air quality

September 24, 2024

Nitrogen is essential to life on Earth but nitrogen pollution can impact air quality when compounds like ammonia and nitrous oxide become too abundant. A new study examines the effects of farming and wildfires.

New article on equity in co-production of knowledge available
