A rover recently captured sounds of lightning crackling on Mars, over a decade after scientists uncovered the first evidence for electric discharges on the planet.
History also shows that many of the fanciful engineering ideas for Greenland failed because they misjudged the island’s harsh climate and dynamic ice sheet.
We’re not going to be able to stop climate instability and associated dangerous wildfire weather, so we need to adapt.
Intense fires can produce storms that make more fire – and they’re becoming more common.
Climate-smart agricultural technologies increase crop sales revenue for farmers in the Sahel region.
We name severe cyclones and storms, but not heatwaves or floods. Why? Are there benefits to giving Australia’s climate-fuelled extreme weather a name?
Many Australian homes are like an oven in summer and a fridge in winter. New ‘smart materials’ are being developed to make houses comfortable in a changing climate.
