Volcanoes Slow Sea-Level Rise Researchers find that very large volcanic eruptions affect not only global climate, but also how sea level changes on decadal scales, which could explain previously observed fluctuations in sea-level records.   |

A Comment on... Volcanoes in a Changing Global Climate It is highly speculative at present to predict how global climate change will transform the science of volcanology. Yet it is important that we begin to anticipate how the impacts of volcanoes will change, as population and precipitation patterns adjust to climate change during the 21st century. |

Volcanic Signatures Reveal Climate Clues Besides providing a new tool to look at the climate impact of past volcanic eruptions, a new study also brings atmospheric scientists a step closer to unraveling the chemistry that sulfur aerosols undergo while they are in the stratosphere, which could help improve climate models. |

Past El Ninos Portend Future Climates A new study examining evidence of long-term variability at El Nino's source suggests the strength of the phenomenon is highly sensitive to even small changes in climate. That sensitivity could have implications for how it plays into future climate change. |

Natural Bumps in the Atmosphere Temperatures at Earth's surface have been rising for decades, but in the upper atmosphere, the temperature is slowly dropping. In explaining this change, scientists have focused on human-related causes -- but a new study shows that nature should not be ignored. |

Volcanic Prepping for Dinosaur Extinction Many scientists accept that an impact on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is to blame for the dinosaurs' demise. But as more research is conducted on a lava flow in India, some geologists grow more convinced that the environment was already significantly perturbed when that projectile struck, and that the impact was simply a final straw. |
