An exploratory project to investigate the benefits of farming seaweed in the open ocean has been selected for funding from Princeton’s Dean for Research Innovation Fund for the Sustainability of Our Planet.

CIMES Deputy Director Gabe Vecchi, an AOS faculty member, joins "CBS News Mornings" to detail how climate change is impacting hurricanes and what can be done in response to the more severe natural disasters.

It took less than 3 hours for Hurricane Ian to strengthen from a Category 3 to a Category 4 and was almost a cat 5 when it made landfall and scientists are warning storms are going to become more frequent and more intense in the years to come. CIMES Deputy Director Gabe Vecchi explains why in a Newsy Evening Debrief.

AccuWeather speaks with CIMES Deputy Director Gabe Vecchi, and other climate experts, about warmer oceans that led to more tropical systems that rapidly intensify and cause more damage along America's coastline.

How big are ocean currents?  That question has been posed by generations of oceanographers, with partial answers available through measurements from ships, satellites, and numerical simulations.  However, the answers were generally limited by methods used to decompose the kinetic energy of ocean currents according to their…

CIMES Researcher Spencer Hill, an AOS associate research scholar, was co-author on a recent guest post for Carbon Brief on the recent flooding in Pakistan. The authors take a closer look at the south Asian monsoon, how it is being affected by human activity, and how it may change in the future.

A new study focuses on the rapid growth of tropical cyclones and their destructive potential.

The potential destruction caused by the winds of tropical cyclones (TCs) depends on both intensity and size. A new study, co-authored by CIMES Researcher Shuai Wang, an AOS associate research scholar, introduces a…

Intense convection has profound consequences for weather and climate. However, it is still unclear how intense convection changes in a warmed climate because traditional climate models are too coarse to explicitly simulate it.

New research led by CIMES…

Multidecadal variability of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been reconstructed by various proxies, simulated in climate models, and linked to multidecadal Arctic salinity variability. However, the mechanisms of the multidecadal AMOC variability and its two-way interaction with the Arctic salinity anomaly, as well as the…
