Hurricane Otis and the Role of Climate Change in Rapid Storm Intensification

Broke On: Wednesday, 25 October 2023 Hurricane Otis underwent rapid intensification, escalating from a Category 1 to a Category 4 storm in less than a day. Climate scientists attribute the increasing trend of rapid hurricane intensification to warmer ocean temperatures caused by climate change. While climate change contributes to the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, it is not the sole cause of such weather events.

Ancient River Landscape Discovered Beneath East Antarctic Ice Sheet

Broke On: Tuesday, 24 October 2023 An ancient river landscape has been discovered beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The landscape is believed to be around 34 million years old. The discovery was made using radar technology that penetrated the ice to reveal the topography beneath. The research provides new insights into the history of the Antarctic ice sheet and its potential response to future climate change.

Rapid Melting of West Antarctic Ice Now Deemed Inevitable, Studies Show

Broke On: Monday, 23 October 2023 Recent research indicates that the rapid melting of ice in West Antarctica is now inevitable. The collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could contribute to a substantial rise in global sea levels. The West Antarctic Ice Sheet contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by several meters.
