Columbia Dispatch: The hills are beautiful, a rolling, green landscape of grasses and shrubs under a late-summer sky. But it is starkly different from what was in this part of northwestern New Mexico before: vast forests of ponderosa pine. The repeated blazes that devastated the trees were caused by simple things: an improperly extinguished campfire in 1996, a tree falling on a power line in 2011.

Climate Change: New Computer Model Efficiently Measures Antarctic Ice Melt

Nature World: What would Earth look like if we continue to burn all available fossil fuels, causing global temperatures to increase by 20 degrees Fahrenheit? That's the question University of Alaska Fairbanks researchers set out to answer by applying a new computer model that focusses on the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic ice sheet is larger than the U.S. with an average thickness of 6,200 feet and all by itself contains more than 50 percent of the world's fresh water. If it melted, sea levels would rise...
