More than 1,200 volunteer scientists are advancing weather and climate research through the American Meteorological Society, organizing conferences, reviewing groundbreaking research, and making critical weather predictions possible. These behind-the-scenes heroes are building the next generation of meteorologists while strengthening communities against extreme weather.
Scientists are calling for more collaborations between artists and researchers to rebuild public confidence in science. The strategy comes as funding cuts threaten research programs worldwide.
A major science organization is launching a digital series that shows how Earth science research translates into real solutions for communities worldwide. The series premiews in December 2026 and goes global in January 2027.
Your weather app might say sunny, but you step outside to rain. A new network of 78 weather stations across Wisconsin is fixing that problem by measuring conditions right where you live.
Over 900 Calgary students from Grade 5 to 12 are presenting their self-designed science experiments at the city's largest youth science fair this weekend. Two Grade 12 students developed a promising wound infection detector using red cabbage extract after a cooking accident sparked their curiosity.
Six international partners just pledged $42 million to fuel Africa's ambitious 10-year science and innovation strategy. The funding will help African nations build stronger research systems and solve local challenges through homegrown science.
After losing their government jobs, former NOAA climate experts rebuilt their popular website from scratch with global crowdfunding support. Climate.us now serves millions seeking trusted weather and climate information independent of political influence.
Over a thousand students, mostly schoolchildren, packed Bengaluru's Raman Research Institute for National Science Day, exploring everything from live satellite feeds to minerals from Sir C V Raman's personal collection. The institute opened rarely-seen spaces including a private museum and let kids decode real satellite images showing weather patterns over India.
A public health professor is slashing his annual research output from 15 papers to just seven, betting that quality beats quantity in science. His radical move challenges a system where some researchers now pump out more than 60 papers yearly.
Scientists created a breakthrough method that tracks extreme weather events with unprecedented accuracy, giving communities worldwide the power to better prepare for heat waves, floods, and droughts. The tool is already helping researchers understand and adapt to climate challenges across every continent.
A young programmer at Los Alamos helped discover why some complex systems can't be predicted the way scientists once thought. That 1955 breakthrough created an entirely new field that helps us understand everything from weather to fusion energy today.
A new tool transforms weather data into moving animations that reveal how our planet breathes, showing temperature changes and pollution patterns as they happen across the globe. The daily maps help people see Earth's interconnected systems in action.

Trinity College just unveiled a privately funded plan to triple the Cambridge Science Park's size, creating 20,000 high-value jobs while opening a free public Park of Science to inspire local kids in STEM. The 50-year masterplan transforms Britain's oldest science park into a £3 billion innovation hub for life sciences, tech, and clean energy.
Citizen scientists listening to Earth's magnetic field translated into sound discovered an unexpected pattern in plasma waves that could help predict geomagnetic storms. One volunteer loved it so much they're switching their major to physics.
Researchers at Brookhaven National Laboratory just watched the first cloud form inside their revolutionary new chamber. This breakthrough tool could finally answer why some clouds rain while others don't.
China's largest research institution is redirecting funds from expensive Western science journals to build its own publishing system. The move could reshape global science publishing and make research more accessible worldwide.
The team behind beloved Dark Sky has returned with a new weather app that shows multiple possible forecasts at once, helping you understand when predictions are reliable. Instead of pretending weather forecasting is perfect, Acme Weather embraces uncertainty with transparency.
NASA just approved two groundbreaking satellites that will help communities prepare for extreme weather and natural disasters years in advance. By 2030, these missions will give forecasters and emergency responders powerful new tools to protect lives.
The UAE just gave its top weather scientist a ministerial role to fight climate chaos with artificial intelligence. Dr. Abdulla Al Mandous will deploy cutting-edge AI systems to protect the nation from increasingly wild weather patterns.
Astronomers just made a stunning first: creating a weather forecast for a planet 700 light-years from Earth. The discovery reveals cloudy mornings and clear evenings on a distant gas giant, changing how we understand alien atmospheres.
