MIT engineers show how detailed mapping of weather conditions and energy demand can guide optimization for siting renewable energy installations.

The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.

The barely-there lunar atmosphere is likely the product of meteorite impacts over billions of years, a new study finds.

Knowing where to look for this signal will help researchers identify specific sources of the potent greenhouse gas.

The nodes are intended to become part of a widespread sea-ice monitoring network.

The findings should help scientists refine predictions of future sea-level rise.

The results suggest that climate may influence seismic activity.

The 3.7 billion-year-old rocks may extend the magnetic field’s age by 200 million years.

The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.

Using New York as a test case, the model predicts flooding at the level experienced during Hurricane Sandy will occur roughly every 30 years by the end of this century.
