Earth system models (ESMs) have evolved into comprehensive simulators of the coupled atmosphere, ocean, land surface and cryosphere, integrating physical, chemical and biological processes. Rigorous ...

On September 5, 2020, California's Creek Fire grew so severe that it began producing its own weather system. The fire's extreme heat produced an explosive thunderhead that spewed lightning strikes and ...

Researchers propose a three-level system dynamics framework treating Earth and space as one coupled socioecological system, ...

Earth system models (ESMs), used in climate simulations and projections, typically use grids of 50–200 km resolution. These are considered relatively coarse with limited ability to resolve land ...

A simulation of the planet from the DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model, one of the large-scale models incorporated in the Earth System Grid Federation led by DOE’s Oak Ridge, Argonne and Lawrence ...

This model reveals how vastly different the atmosphere was on ancient Earth, and how life may have first emerged. The key to unlocking the secrets of distant planets starts right here on Earth.

A systematic review of 57 studies defines Digital Twin Forestry as an emerging informatics paradigm that continuously couples ...

Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s future climate, we still don’t really know what’s coming. Some places are warming with more ferocity than expected. Extreme events are taking ...
