Observations from the Little Bunker

This study investigates the characteristics and future projections of warm rain during the winter monsoon (December–February; DJF) over the western part of the Java Sea (WJS), Indonesia, using satellite observations...

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed an Endangered Species Act listing for a rare chub whose habitat has been dried up by over-pumping of groundwater that would be...

In 2022 a team discovered that high levels of OH radicals can be generated indoors, simply due to the presence of people and ozone. This means: People generate their own...

A flash flood in Allegany and Garrett counties has stretched local emergency systems and emphasizes the need to turn climate resilience planning into tangible action.By Aman AzharThe water surged fast,...

Hurricane winds are a major contributor to storm-related losses for people living in the southeastern coastal states. As the global temperature continues to rise, scientists predict that hurricanes will get...

Songbirds who make the arduous flight from their nesting sites in northern boreal forests to warm, southern climates in the winter may be rewarded for their journey with greater genetic...

Researchers look to extremes in the past to study how the system reacts to imbalances. They detail an overlooked mechanism for how the ocean can help stabilize massive releases of...

Large shifts in UV radiation at Lake Tahoe are associated with wet and dry climate extremes, finds a new study.

Abstract The end-Cretaceous (K-Pg) mass extinction shows how large-scale taxonomic loss affects functional diversity over short and long timeframes. In a macroevolutionary model system, we find that, despite losing ~60%...

Abstract Arthropods have intricate compound eyes and optic neuropils, exhibiting exceptional visual capabilities. Combining the strengths of digital imaging with the features of natural arthropod visual systems offers a promising...

Abstract Kufs disease/CLN4 is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by unknown mechanisms through Leu 115 Arg and Leu 116 Δ mutations in the DNAJC5 gene that encodes the synaptic...

Abstract Vertebrate growth is generally considered to be unidirectional, but challenging environmental conditions, such as heatwaves, may disrupt normal growth patterns and affect individual survival. Here, we investigate the growth...

Abstract Minimal photon fluxes (MINFLUX) nanoscopy excels in nanoscale protein studies but lacks a universal method for simultaneous imaging and live-cell tracking in dense cellular environments. Here, we developed a...

Abstract Current evidence suggests that the hippocampus is essential for exploiting predictive relationships during perception. However, it remains unclear whether the hippocampus drives the communication of predictions to sensory cortex...

Abstract The future response of the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) to projected transient changes in winds, radiative forcing, and meltwater input is examined in a high‐resolution ocean‐sea ice model. Meltwater...

Abstract Through data analysis and numerical simulations, this study reveals the winter Arctic Warming Pattern (AWP), characterized by anticyclonic anomalies over the North Pacific and the Urals, which plays a...

Abstract Climate interventions like Marine Cloud Brightening have gained attention for their potential to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems from the worst impacts of climate change. Early modeling studies raised concerns...

Abstract Despite the recently recomputed time series of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) suggesting greater stability than previously recognized, AMOC retains the potential to influence regional climate fluctuations across...

Global yields of wheat are around 10% lower now than they would have been without the influence of climate change, according to a new study. 

Scientists say drought and climate change are driving the severe dust storms pummeling the border region of Chihuahua, New Mexico and Texas.By Martha PskowskiEL PASO, Texas—On a Tuesday afternoon in...

HFC-23 emissions from chemical plants in eastern China and elsewhere likely violate an international climate agreement despite readily available pollution controls. Advocates are pressing for action.By Phil McKenna, Lili PikeThis...

New research suggests the Earth will pass multiple dangerous tipping points at 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming, the U.N. limit exceeded for much of the last two years.By Bob BerwynSea...

The Tulsequah Glacier meanders down a broad valley in northwest British Columbia, 7 miles from the Alaska border. At the foot of the glacier sits a silty, gray lake, a...

Driving into the Black Hills National Forest, as the road gains elevation, raindrops hitting the windshield slow down and start swirling in the air. It’s snowing in late April, a...
