For the first time in recorded history the system that moves water around the planet is off balance, according to a landmark new report. Water moves around the world in "atmospheric rivers" as part of ...

A research team has used changing patterns of salt in the ocean to estimate that between 1970 and 2014, at least two times more freshwater shifted from the equator to the poles than our climate models ...

Prolonged droughts, wildfires and water shortages. Torrential downpours that overwhelm dams and cause catastrophic flooding. Around the globe, rising temperatures stoked by climate change are ...

The global water cycle has become “increasingly erratic and extreme” with wild swings between droughts and floods, spelling big trouble for economies and societies, according to a report published ...

Mathew Barlow received travel funding from the US government to attend three IPCC lead author meetings. Studies by scientists around the world show that the water cycle has been intensifying and will ...

A new study shows that the intensification of global hydrological cycle drives more ocean heat uptake into the deep ocean and moderates the pace of global warming. A new study led by scientists at the ...
