New discovery in atmospheric chemistry helps predict methane’s role in climate change

In a study published in Science, scientists describe a newly discovered reaction that improves modeling of methane in the atmosphere. Modeling methane’s atmospheric lifetime is important to understanding how the potent greenhouse gas contributes to climate change. To date, models consistently overestimate the amount of hydroxyl radicals (OH), the molecules responsible for breaking down methane, […]

Changing climate trends make assessing and predicting drought more complex

Analysis of the United States Drought Monitor shows it increasingly underestimates the frequency and severity of drought conditions, especially in the American West, suggesting that its drought classification thresholds may no longer align with the current, changing climate realities.
