A new study co-authored by Columbia scientist Francesco Muschitiello suggests we may be underestimating the chances of extreme heat and droughts in Europe under climate change.

For decades, scientists believed the Greenland Ice Sheet to be relatively stable compared with the vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet. But new research by Columbia scientists Gisela Winckler and Joerg Schaefer revealed the ice sheet may be highly unstable.

The World Meteorological Organization’s Commission on Climatology recognizes a Columbia climate forecaster’s scientific contributions.

Using the photo-sharing site Instagram as a test case, Columbia researchers found that recommendation algorithms influence social status by amplifying network disparities.

Marco Tedesco and Robin Bell, polar scientists at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory polar scientists, provide a primer for non-scientists on the study of climate change as it relates to sea level changes.

From new models for tracking inheritable diseases to unprecedented accuracy in forecasting catastrophic drought, Columbia's Data Science Day highlighted how researchers across campus help us better understand our world through data.

Coastal waters play an important role in the carbon cycle by absorbing carbon into sediments or transferring it to the open ocean, a new study co-authored by Columbia geochemist Wade McGillis confirms.
