A team of scientists led by Leipzig University and the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) in collaboration with the University of Valencia and others have developed a new method to track the Earth's greenness - a key indicator of vegetation health and activity - by calculating its centre of mass.

Unprecedented increase in ice melt in Greenland due to climate change

A study published in Nature Communications shows that water resulting from ice melting has increased six-fold in recent decades. A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting of the Greenland ice sheet: it has made them more frequent, more extensive and more intense.
