In the whole history of Earth's climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call "Snowball Earth." ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously ...

Scientists have long debated what causes glacial/interglacial cycles, which have occurred most recently at intervals of about 100,000 years. A new study reported in the March 24 issue of Nature finds ...

BOULDER–Challenging conventional wisdom, new research finds that the number of sunspots provides an incomplete measure of changes in the Sun’s impact on Earth over the course of the 11-year solar ...

Researches used rhenium as a proxy for fossil carbon in order to quantify the rate at which Earth naturally releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and found that high rates of carbon breakdown ...

For millions of years, the Earth has oscillated between ice ages and warmer episodes. The movements of the ground beneath our ...

The Earth is known for its constant evolution, but it was recently discovered by researchers that there is a trigger that leads to the planet's biodiversity seeing a massive boost, and it is through a ...

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit around the ...

We have compared the four temporal modes of the gravity field with the six temporal modes of the magnetic field one by one. The main principal components of the core magnetic and gravity signals ...
