New Research Uncovers Pattern in Global Flu Outbreaks
November 3, 2016
In a new study, a Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego-led research team found that a key environmental driver – humidity – links flu outbreaks across the globe and that temperature mediates this effect.
These Energy-Packed Batteries Work Well in Extreme Cold and Heat
July 4, 2022
Researchers developed lithium-ion batteries that perform well at freezing cold and scorching hot temperatures, while packing a lot of energy. This could help electric cars travel farther on a single charge in the cold and reduce the need for cooling systems for the cars’ batteries in hot climates.
Natural Methane “Time Bomb” Unlikely to Wreak Climate Havoc
August 23, 2017
An analysis of air bubbles from glacial ice cores shows that the last time the planet experienced rapid warming, there was not a giant release to the atmosphere of the greenhouse gas methane from frozen methane deposits, a scenario some have feared could be repeated in the near future as…
California’s Climate Future Suggests More Volatility and a Key Role for Atmospheric Rivers
September 12, 2017
Two recently published studies investigating past and future precipitation in California demonstrate that the state is experiencing an increasingly volatile precipitation regime, as rain-heavy winter storms known as “atmospheric rivers” become increasingly intense, and dry periods between storms grow longer.

Variable Precipitation Linked to Rising Infectious Disease among Young Children Worldwide
February 9, 2022
A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego has found that abnormally wet conditions increase the risk of cough, fever, and diarrhea in children under five years old in many humid subtropical regions of the globe.
Disappearance of Coral Reefs, Drastically Altered Marine Food Web on the Horizon
August 5, 2013
If history’s closest analog is any indication, the look of the oceans will change drastically in the future as the coming greenhouse world alters marine food webs and gives certain species advantages over others.
What Happened in the Past When the Climate Changed?
October 31, 2018
New research shows for the first time how the changing climate in Asia, from 5,000 to 1,000 years ago, transformed people’s ability to produce food in particular places. The computer model simulates crop failures and enables the co-authors to get at the causes of some dramatic historic and cultural changes.
