To better inform local policy in the face of changing weather extremes, MIT researchers seek to advance the modeling of long-term weather risks.

The Center for Electrification and Decarbonization of Industry unites MIT climate researchers to create scalable clean energy solutions under one roof.

To put global climate modeling at the fingertips of local decision-makers, some scientists think it’s time to rethink the system from scratch.

Ground is collapsing and massive lakes are draining in a matter of days. Thawing permafrost is having profound effects on the region and its infrastructure.

Using our oceans as carbon sinks could help achieve climate goals set in the most recent IPCC report.

Faculty leaders highlight innovations that can close longstanding knowledge gaps and reimagine how the world responds to the climate crisis.

MIT scientists hope to deploy a fleet of drones to get a better sense of how much carbon the ocean is absorbing, and how much more it can take.

If fossil fuel burning stopped, emerging research suggests air temperatures could level off sooner than expected. But that doesn’t mean the damage stops.

For the first time since satellites started studying the continent, East Antarctica has lost an entire ice shelf.
