Researchers have finally answered a long-standing question over the role of Earth’s orbit in driving global ice age cycles. Scientists have been able to decipher…
Research shows that only ambitious climate protection measures can still save a third of the tundra. Temperatures in the Arctic are climbing rapidly as a…
For the first time, an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds has been found under atmospheric conditions. Scientists from the University of Copenhagen, in…
A new study has revealed super cyclones, the most intense form of tropical storms, are likely to have a much more devastating impact on people…
Oldest continuous arctic record is a step toward understanding dramatic shift in glacial cycles. New research is the first to provide a continuous look at…
To help researchers model climate effects, NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will measure the composition of minerals that become airborne dust. Blown…
Climate projections are critical for adaptation and mitigation planning. The output of the latest round of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 6 (CMIP6) has…
Wetlands are Earth’s most efficient natural storage system for climate-warming carbon dioxide. Human activities such as marsh draining for agriculture and logging are increasingly eating…
A new research study has revealed the most intense heatwaves ever across the world – and remarkably some of these went almost unnoticed decades ago….
Atmospheric rivers are large, narrow sections of the Earth’s atmosphere that transport moisture from the Earth’s tropics near the equator to the poles. At any…
Combining climate change records over the last 3.5 million years with fossil evidence of mammals in Africa revealed that times of erratic climate change are…
Ozone in the atmosphere found to have weakened one of Earth’s main cooling mechanisms. According to new research, ozone may be weakening one of the…
Follow the pollen. Records from past plant life tell the real story of global temperatures, according to research from a climate scientist at Washington University…
Early Human Habitats Linked to Past Climate Shifts A study published in Nature by an international team of scientists provides clear evidence for a link…
The findings do not counter the established science of climate change but highlight how the accounting of the amount of carbon withdrawn by plants and…
Largest changes centered over Rio Grande region of Southwestern U.S. In arid Western states, the climate is growing warmer and drier, leading to increased demand…
In the Southern Hemisphere, the ice cover around Antarctica gradually expands from March to October each year. During this time the total ice area increases…
Finding could help refine climate modeling. University of Sydney scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover that past global warming…
