SORCE Studied The Sun For Nearly Two Decades After nearly two decades, the Sun has set for NASA’s Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), a mission that continued and advanced the agency’s 40-year record of measuring solar irradiance and studying its influence on Earth’s climate. Read More

Solar energy tracker powers down after 17 years by Jessica Merzdorf for GSFC News Greenbelt MD (SPX) Mar 23, 2020 "The big surprise with TSI was that the amount of irradiance it measured was 4.6 watts per square meter less than what was expected," said Tom Woods, SORCE's principal investigator…

Meltwater pulses (MWPs) known as abrupt sea-level rise due to injection of melt water are of particular interests to scientists to investigate the interactions between climatic, oceanic and glacial systems. Eustatic sea-level rise will inevitably affect cities especially those on coastal plains of low elevation like Hong Kong. A recent…

Fewer than half of Conservative party members believe that human activity is responsible for climate change, according to a new survey. The poll of more than 1,100 Tories found that almost one in three (32.9 per cent) think that “global warming is happening but human activity isn’t driving it”, while nearly…
