A groundbreaking study has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that significantly influences Earth’s climate. The research was conducted by Hebrew University’s Ph.D. candidate, Kaushal Gianchandani,…
With its low quantities of rain and soaring high temperatures, the Sahara Desert is often regarded as one of the most extreme and least habitable…
A pioneering study has unveiled new insights into the humid phases in North Africa over the last 800,000 years, explaining why the Sahara Desert periodically…
The findings provide new insights into how climate change will influence the duration of days and the reliability of climate modeling instruments. Astrophysicists from the…
Recent research reveals that volcanic activity 56 million years ago emitted a higher amount of methane than previously estimated. Approximately 55 million years ago, the…
Analysis of microfossil content in sediment cores reveals that during the Last Interglacial, a species typically found in subpolar regions associated with Atlantic water expanded…
Texas A&M researchers, who have analyzed satellite data from over 7,000 worldwide reservoirs, have discovered that despite the rise in total storage capacity, the filling…
Scientists take the most accurate measurements yet of black carbon in the atmosphere. Our industrialized civilization contributes a broad array of pollutants to the environment….
The climate that is commonly perceived as being characteristic of the West Coast is a relatively recent phenomenon, existing for only a few thousand years….
High levels of ozone destroy the chemical mating signal of the insects and may thus contribute to global insect decline. Insect sexual communication relies to…
University of Colorado at Boulder scientists and an international team of researchers have revealed the most in-depth view yet of the Earth’s recent climate history…
Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered that individuals affected by the catastrophic Camp Fire in 2018 showed changes in cognitive function several months later….
Strong warming causes the deep overturning circulation to collapse. The University of California, Irvine Earth system scientists have found that the Atlantic and Southern oceans’…
Scientists have mapped out oceanic “dead zones” from the Pliocene epoch, when Earth’s temperature was two to three degrees higher than today. This could offer…
The missing piece in reconstructing the Earth’s climate history also provides a new understanding of the early evolution of life. Microbial skins made of lipids,…
Scientists develop a new way to take a census of carbon in the ground under our feet – a crucial tool for managing climate change…
Brent Minchew leads two proposals to better understand glacial physics and predict sea-level rise as part of MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges competition. When we think…
Rapidly expanding nuclear arsenals in Pakistan and India portend regional and global catastrophe. With ongoing tensions between India and Pakistan raising concerns about the possibility…
