Such “arctic amplification” is a result of the ice-albedo feedback. What’s that? NOAA’s Ocean Service website explains, “When ...

Under the background of global warming, the Mount Everest region has experienced evident climate changes. Glaciers and snow ...

An early melt can lead to a few issues. Snow has a "high albedo," meaning it reflects a lot of sunlight back into space. When there is no snow, the sunlight is absorbed by the ground. The ground ...

But what if it's not always that simple? A new study by Clark University reveals a hidden factor, the albedo effect, that ...

Taiwan has around 200,000 hectares of fallow agricultural land that could be planted with high-albedo crops, such as plants ...

A team of researchers analyzing previously unpublished images of Mars's moon Phobos have found hints that the unusual moon is ...

The Habitable Worlds Observatory would work in the near-infrared, a band where large moons may outshine their host worlds.

The payload from Saco Middle School, dubbed ALBEDO, will investigate the impact of albedo — the fraction of solar irradiation ...

The scientists utilized an artificial high-albedo, UV-resistant reflector material made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), provided by Germany-based Solmax Geosynthetics. Its solar-weighted ...
