Snow drought helped set the stage for deadly California avalanche, leading to unstable conditions By TAMMY WEBBER A weekslong “snow drought” in Northern California’s Sierra Nevada helped set the stage for Tuesday’s deadly avalanche, after several feet of new snow fell on…

#SnowDrought : "If heavy new snow falls on the crystals, the layers often can’t bond and the new snow forms what is called a storm slab over a weaker layer."

Sea Levels Are Already Higher Than Many Scientists Think, New Study Shows Researchers found that a majority of studies on coastal sea levels underestimated how high water levels are, and hundreds of millions of people are closer to peril than previously thought.

Breaking News: Scientists have been using methods that underestimated how high sea levels already are, a new study found. One result is that hundreds of millions more people are already living dangerously close to the rising ocean than Western scientists had previously estimated.

"In a warming climate, the stakes are high. The ability to simulate the Earth system at scale is one of the most powerful tools humanity has to prepare for the risks ahead."

Making sense of a chaotic planet: How understanding weather and climate risks depends on supercomputers like NCAR’s Behind the long-term climate projections that affect our lives sits one of the most remarkable scientific achievements of the modern era.

A Lone Dolphin Takes Up Residence in Front of St. Mark's Square, Venice When you picture Venice, you probably imagine gondolas gliding past centuries-old palaces. What you don’t expect to see is a bottlenose dolphin playing in the water in front of St. Mark’s Square. Yet that’s exactly what happened last summer, when a lone dolphin nicknamed Mimmo began cruising through the Venetian Lagoon, and eventually settled in San Marco Basin, one of the busiest tourist hubs in Venice. Bottlenose dolphins typically travel in small social groups, making extended solitary stays like this relatively rare. Now, a study published in Frontiers in Ethology documents the dolphin’s movements over several months and explores what his presence reveals about wildlife management in urban waters. The researchers say Mimmo’s appearance isn’t the real concern. Human behavior is. “We present the case of one of the most charismatic animals in one of the most iconic cities: a solitary dolphin in Venice,” said senior author Guido Pietroluongo in a press release. “Our observations document this animal’s remarkable adaptation to an unusual context and highlight the need to manage human behavior to ensure its welfare.” A Solitary Dolphin in Venice Bottlenose dolphins once moved freely throughout the Adriatic Sea, including the Venetian Lagoon. While common dolphins largely disappeared from...
