Study: Impact of mercury-controlling policies shrinks with every five-year delay

Toxin will accumulate in the environment, particularly in remote regions, as countries delay implementing emissions controls.
Simple yet effective

Faster, cheaper modeling method could improve understanding of long-term atmospheric chemistry and provide a powerful risk assessment tool
Arctic ice sets speed limit for major ocean current

Long-term melting may lead to release of huge volumes of cold, fresh water into the North Atlantic, impacting global climate.
How Earth sheds heat into space

New insights into the role of water vapor may help researchers predict how the planet will respond to warming

MIT CGCS forms a better understanding of earth’s climate while facilitating the prediction of climate change. We are an interdisciplinary bridge spanning the MIT School of Science & the MIT School of Engineering.
