Snowflake size affects how much snow stays on roofs, helping explain why some storms create heavier and more dangerous snow ...

No two snowflakes may be the same, but models that fail to take these variations into consideration often fall short when ...

For many years, the deep ocean has been seen as a nutrient-poor environment where microbes living in the water survive on very limited resources. But new research from the University of Southern ...

In some parts of the deep ocean, it can look like it's snowing. This "marine snow" is the dust and detritus that organisms slough off as they die and decompose. Marine snow can fall several kilometers ...

Learn how bacteria inside marine snow may dissolve shell minerals and influence how the ocean stores carbon.

In Physics of Fluids, researchers model the way snow gathers on a roof based on snowflake size and distribution. The model considers how turbulence can affect recently landed snow and how wind can ...

As any diver knows, oceans can be cloudy places. Even on sunny days, snow-like particles drift through the water column, obscuring the aquatic world ...

Skiers at Stowe caught a snow devil on the slopes Tuesday.
