A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...
Hundreds of millions of Americans are presently besieged by a massive arctic blast and winter storm. Luckily for them, it will only be temporary. That wasn't the case 20,000 years ago... Between ...
Mars is about half Earth’s size and roughly a tenth its mass — not really the sort of planet you’d expect to leave fingerprints on Earth’s climate history. Yet a new set of simulations by an ...
Between 720 million and 635 million years ago, Earth may have experienced one of ...
Compared with Earth, Mars is tiny, yet it seems to have an outsized effect on our planet’s climate cycles. Similar small planets could affect the climates of worlds beyond our solar system, which we ...
A closer look at Earth’s history shows that melting ice sheets temporarily increased stratification in the Southern Ocean.
When we look at the solid ground beneath our feet, it's easy to assume Earth has always been this way. But our planet tells a story so extraordinary, so ...
New research from the University of Copenhagen suggests that volcanic eruptions during the Ice Age may have triggered sudden climate change by disrupting the Atlantic Meridional Overturning ...
