The next National Climate Assessment is scheduled for 2018, but its scientific findings are scheduled to be published today. Here, two of its authors — climate scientists at Columbia University— explain what to expect.

New research finds that storms of intensities seen today, combined with a few meters increase in sea level, were enough to transport coastal boulders weighing hundreds of tons more than 100,000 years ago.

Columbia University scientists find that the warmer, more acidic waters caused by rising carbon dioxide levels influence the behavior of tiny marine organisms essential to ocean health.

Scientists from Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory have found that droughts far worse than any recorded by humans have struck parts of Israel and Jordan — and similar events could occur in the future.

During an October conference at Columbia University, scientists pinpointed areas where advances in fire prediction can be made within the next decade.
