Georgia Tech researchers have developed a mathematical formula to predict the size of lakes that form on melting ice sheets—discovering their depth and span are linked to the topography of the ice sheet itself.

An analysis of forest-based projects funded through the sale of carbon credits shows that 10% of them may have a net warming effect on the climate because of the way they alter Earth's albedo, or how much sunlight is reflected back into space.

The June 2023 heat wave in northern European seas was "unprecedented but not unexpected," new research shows.
