oil spill in sea water

An international study analyzes the fate of oil spills in the Mediterranean Sea

An international study, coordinated by CMCC with the involvement of the National Institute of Oceanography and Applied Geophysics (OGS), analyzes

Methane levels are now over 2.5 times higher than pre-industrial levels, contributing around 0.5°C of warming in the 2010s—two-thirds as much as CO₂. Understanding and quantifying the global methane budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. A new paper, involving an international team of researchers including CMCC’s Sergio Noce, provides insight on global methane sources and sinks. From the little known role of termites to the costs and benefits of mitigating emissions, the Budget offers a comprehensive view of the geographical regions and economic sectors whose emissions have changed the most since 2000.

What are the hidden impacts of air pollution on health and society? CMCC researcher Stefania Renna, presents her latest work on air quality and health at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) 2025 press conference scheduled for April 28, 2025. Titled Take my breath away? How air pollution affects chronic diseases, schools and social mobility, the presentation will shed light on the hidden impacts of air pollution and the urgent need for action in safeguarding both our climate and our health. CMCC researchers will be convening and co-convening multiple sessions on a variety of key climate topics at EGU2025, the world’s foremost conference on geosciences.

Robust projections and predictions of climate variability and change, particularly at regional scales, rely on an accurate representation of driving processes in model simulations. A new international effort to further develop the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), involving CMCC researcher Enrico Scoccimarro, improves how we simulate and understand extreme weather events and their relationship to the climate system, making climate models more detailed and useful for decision makers and placing CMCC at the forefront of global efforts in climate modeling.

Overshoot: What does it mean to exceed and return to global warming of 1.5°C?

Many national and corporate climate targets seek to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Yet, global warming continues to increase. It

Earth System Models are the main tools scientists use to study and improve our understanding of the climate system and project climate change. However, even the best models still exhibit uncertainties in their projections. New research led by CMCC introduces a novel method that reduces uncertainties in near-surface air temperature projections by up to 54% compared to state-of-the-art approaches, making predictions more precise and reliable. This can help provide better guidance for governments and communities in planning effective adaptation and mitigation strategies to meet the challenges posed by climate change.
