climate and weather

Global warming in excess of 2 degrees Celsius has already been set into motion by past emissions, says a team of researchers including a Texas A&M professor.

Climate change and rising sea levels are breaking down the ecosystems that protect coastal communities. Texas A&M researchers have found their threshold for recovery is lower than previously thought.

Assistant Professor of Geography Julie Loisel is among a team of scientists who agree that preserving peatlands is essential to limiting climate warming.

The team will identify facilities at risk for flood-induced chemical spills and support efforts to mitigate potential impacts on nearby communities.

State Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon says drier and warmer conditions over much of the state could last until spring.

An international team including a Texas A&M researcher concluded that to predict future climate trends, more attention is needed regarding historical records from millions of years ago.

Recent numerous storms and hurricanes have eaten away much of the state’s 367-mile coastline

Scientists have found that ocean events, such as a heatwave and a recent storm, can contribute to strengthening hurricanes.

The effort aims to expand Texas A&M's statewide reach of water research and extension efforts.

Cooler ocean waters tend to make drier and warmer conditions throughout the Southwest.
