Seismometers often record vibrations from storms. A new study by Columbia scientists shows it’s possible to use those small blips to learn a hurricane’s intensity, which could help predict the storms’ future strength under climate change.
Hoaxes have been calling Irma a Category 6 hurricane, but there’s no such thing. Columbia University scientists discuss whether there could there be in the future.
Columbia University scientists explain that it’s too soon to say there’s a connection between Harvey and global warming, but searching for the fingerprints of climate change shouldn’t take too long.
