An international assessment report has been released to provide definitive statements on the atmospheric impacts from a huge ...

The climate is changing and nowhere is it changing faster than at Earth's poles. Researchers at Penn State have painted a ...

Nitrates in the atmosphere reduce air quality and play an important role in climate change. An international team led by Hokkaido University researchers has revealed how chemical processes in the ...

After wildfires burn through urban areas, publicly available air quality assessments may not adequately warn people about harmful air pollutants. Expanding today’s air quality metrics requires more ...

The decision to break up the center, which was created in 1960 for research in atmospheric chemistry and physical meteorology ...

Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play a pivotal role in stratospheric chemistry, particularly in the processes that lead to ozone depletion. Formed under extreme cold conditions in the polar ...

What’s the first thing you do after waking up each morning, before you’ve even gotten out of bed? For many people, it’s checking the weather. For most, this is a thoughtless chore, an unexciting daily ...

UW-Milwaukee’s Atmospheric Science program is a part of the School of Freshwater Sciences. The degree program will close at the end of this school year due to low enrollment and faculty retirements, ...

Mars’ north polar vortex locks its atmosphere in extreme cold and darkness, freezing out water vapor and triggering a dramatic rise in ozone. Scientists found that the lack of sunlight and moisture ...

Using a highly sensitive mass spectrometer capable of detecting trace chemicals, the researchers discovered that their early Earth simulation created an entire collection of sulfur biomolecules. These ...
