Researchers Develop an Artificial Intelligence to Analyze Birdsong in a Warming Arctic
A new algorithm quickly sifts through hours of field recordings to learn how climate change influences bird migration. The A.I. could help track other wildlife as well.

Shrinking Ice Sheet Made A Surprising Comeback
Thousands of years ago, the West Antarctic ice sheet shrank dramatically—then grew back in an unexpected way. The new findings could help to refine predictions about how today’s warming climate will impact polar ice and sea level rise.

How Will People Move as Climate Changes?
A new model developed by Kyle Davis, a Columbia postdoctoral researcher, estimates how many climate migrants there will be, where they are likely to go, and what effects they might have on the places to which they move.
