New Lessons from Old Ice: How We Understand Past (and Future) Heating - Eos
Fragments of blue ice up to 6 million years old—the oldest ever found—offer key insights into Earth’s warming cycles. Researchers are using these ancient data to refine models of our future climate.

Driving an electric mobile lab from New Jersey to California quarterly for 14 months, a Princeton team measured emissions from 96 wastewater plants.
The team found that wastewater plants emit about twice as much greenhouse gas as previously estimated.

A study co-authored by Princeton's Jie Deng offers a new explanation for two enormous structures deep below Earth's surface that "defy conventional models of planetary evolution."
Why mysterious structures within Earth's mantle hold clues to life here
For decades, scientists have been baffled by two enormous, enigmatic structures buried deep inside Earth with features so vast and unusual that they defy conventional models of planetary evolution.

Mortality impacts of rainfall and sea-level rise in a developing megacity - Nature
High-resolution rainfall, tide and mortaility data are used to quantify the impact of rainfall and flooding on urban health in Mumbai, India, revealing an order-of-magnitude discrepency between observed and officially reported mortality impacts, with slum residents bearing most of the burden.
