Arctic sea ice is rapidly retreating due to global warming, and emerging evidence suggests that the rate of decline may have been underestimated. A key factor contributing to this underestimation is the coarse resolution of current climate models, wh...
Post-Noachian Martian paleochannels indicate the existence of liquid water on the surface of Mars after about 3.5 Gya (Irwin et al., 2015; Palucis et al., 2016). In order to explore the effects of variations in CO$_{2}$ partial pressure and obliquity...
In recent years, the monarch butterfly's iconic migration patterns have come under threat from a number of factors, from climate change to pesticide use. To track trends in their populations, scientists as well as citizen scientists must identify ind...

I live in a tropical region, meaning freezing temperatures are an extraordinarily rare occurrence. It may seem stupid to people in colder climates, but here it's a special event people get excited abo...
The ventilation of carbon dioxide within subterranean caves regulates the growth of speleothems --- mineral deposits found in caves that provide important clues about past climate. While previous studies have used internal temperature measurements to...
