Model designed to comply with current legislation uses biodiversity, landscape, and ecosystem services data and could support public policies.

Climate models often overestimate ice clouds and underestimate supercooled liquid water (SLW) clouds in polar regions, skewing predictions of surface warming. To address this issue, researchers from Japan conducted a four-month observational study on the Southern Ocean. Through shipboard measurements, they found SLW clouds dominated as mid-level cloud layers, even at very low temperatures. These findings offer crucial data to improve the accuracy of climate models, which are critical in the face of climate change.

A newly published review  reveals that climate extremes are increasingly striking in combination—and their compounding impact is posing a growing threat to public health across China.

Villefranche-sur-Mer, France - June 6, 2025 - In the frame of the United Nations Ocean Conference 2025, a high-level side event hosted on June 3rd at the Institut de la Mer de Villefranche (IMEV) culminated in the signing of the Declaration of Commitment to Scientific Ocean Drilling.

In a paper published in SCIENCE CHINA Earth Sciences, a team of researchers analyzed spatiotemporal distribution, organizational modes of severe convective wind (SCW) events during the warm season (May to September) in North China. In addition, the environmental conditions before the occurrence of SCW convective systems and non-SCW convective systems were compared. It provides valuable insights to enhance the forecasting accuracy of severe convective weather events in this region.
