New research details how tiny imbalances in the phytoplankton predator-prey relationship, caused by environmental variability, give rise to massive phytoplankton blooms, having huge impacts on…
A newly published study from University of Cambridge shows that food production is a main driver of biodiversity loss and a large contributor to climate…
By using computer simulations of the climate, researchers have found evidence for anthropogenic glacier mass loss in recent decades. In a paper published in the…
NASA is about to launch the Orbiting Carbon Observatory – a satellite dedicated to the study of global carbon dioxide sources that will help researchers…
A new study based on computer simulations reveals that the melting of ice on East Antarctica’s shore could result in an unstoppable sea-level rise. The…
New research from Yale University shows that parts of ancient Antarctica were as warm as today’s California coast, and polar regions of the southern Pacific…
A new study by NSIDC and NASA researchers reveals that length of the melt season for Arctic sea ice is growing by several days each…
Using sophisticated Earth system modeling, new research from Yale University reveals that the release of forest emissions and smoke from wildfires 3 million years ago…
This four minute video shows climate model estimates on how global temperature and precipitation patterns will change throughout the 21st century given current rising greenhouse…
According to scientists at Stanford University, climate change is on pace to occur 10 times faster than any change recorded in past 65 million years….
A newly published study suggests that planetary “runaway greenhouse” climates are more easily triggered than previously thought. It might be easier than previously thought for…
A new study using ocean data from the 135 year old HMS Challenger oceanographic expedition combined with modern measurements of ocean temperatures reveals that warming…
A newly published study presents the most convincing evidence so far that abrupt climate change was instrumental in the development human evolution. Rapid climate change…
A newly published study reveals evidence of a major cosmic event near the end of the Ice Age, detailing how a cosmic impact sparked climate…
New climate change research from the Berkeley Lab suggests that boreal forests will likely shift north and will relinquish more trapped carbon than most current…
In a newly published study, scientists examined the relationship between changes in surface temperature and vegetation growth, finding that temperature and vegetation growth at northern…
Researchers at Berkeley Lab have developed an analytical method that combines satellite images, simulation modeling and fieldwork to help detect forest mortality patterns and trends,…
A study from scientists at Yale University examined the extent to which 91,000 individuals in 89 countries on five continents detected recent changes in average…
