The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. It harbors immense biodiversity and plays a crucial role in the global climate system by storing vast amounts of carbon in its vegetation. The Amazon is ...

To comprehend the Earth system and its multitude of interacting components through time and space, scientists have been gathering progressively more quantities of real world data and using ever ...

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 ...

This Collection welcomes original research on AI-driven atmospheric modelling and Earth system prediction. Narrative review articles are also welcomed, to our sister journal Scientific Reviews. For ...

A team of researchers was able to assemble a rare three-dimensional view of how carbon moves through the atmosphere across different regions and over time.

Terrestrial carbon cycle dynamics remain one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in climate projections, with diverging estimates of ecosystem carbon uptake, affecting the accuracy of Earth system ...

A study describes a new computer algorithm which can be applied to Earth System Models to drastically reduce the time needed to prepare these in order to make accurate predictions of future climate ...

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 ...

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 ...

East Asia’s rainiest summer in decades became a brutal test for the next generation of climate models. The question was not ...
