Stable isotope analysis of ancient Eskimo hair found in Western Alaska could reveal how people in the region lived through times of climate change and…
It would seem logical that periods of global warming in Earth’s history started the extinction pulses that defined the geological record. However, that’s not the…
Using a new soil–water–atmosphere–plant model supported by comprehensive observational evidence, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience examines the role plants play in…
A team of scientists have developed a computer model that can identify the best molecular candidates for removing greenhouse gases from power plants, providing accurate…
Scientists believe diseased trees may be a significant source of methane that causes climate change, finding concentrations of methane that were as high as 80,000…
While satellites have confirmed that Greenland has lost a significant part of its ice sheet, a recent study in Science indicates that the ice sheet…
There has been a definite, palpable impact on the Earth’s climate by global warming. The unusual high frequency of heatwaves indicate that there has to…
A new study from scientists at MIT examined how temperature increases affect economic growth in developing nations, finding that for every 1-degree-Celsius increase, over the…
Data from a newly published study provides visual evidence that atmospheric particles separate into distinct chemical compositions during their life cycle and may play a…
Published in the journal Science, a new study from Harvard researchers suggests that a newly discovered connection between climate change and depletion of the ozone…
As research on greenhouse gases and global warming continues, this brief video from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center explains how instruments like CERES and MODIS…
A new study found that dissolution or creation of huge gypsum deposits changed sulfate content of the oceans, which resulted in drastic changes in seawater…
Using data from three independent satellites to analyze the extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet, NASA and university scientists found that ice melting…
Confirmed by data taken by MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites, a 120 square km ice island has broken…
A new study from the University of Zurich found that global warming is having a negative impact on lake water, resulting in rising lake water…
A newly published study gives the first “bottom-up” estimates of China’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for 2005 – 2009, combining the results of Chinese field…
A new report from the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science and the Marine Institute describes for the first time a globally synchronous pattern…
