- What is a Rossby wave train? Scientists explain how Antarctica gained nearly 700 billion tons of ice - The surprising atmospheric pattern that disrupted normal weather, delivered extraordinary snowfall and and temporarily reversed the continent’s long-term ice lossIn a surprising turn, Antarctica temporarily gained ice mass, attributed to warm tropical ocean currents. These warm waters triggered atmos...
- Pangea Ultima: In 200 million years, Earth could have a new supercontinent, and its climate may be almost impossible for humans to surviveEarth's continents are moving, and a future supercontinent may form. Scientists model Pangea Ultima, a landmass forming in 200 million year...
