China's Three Gorges Dam has effectively changed Earth's axis by nearly an inch since it was built nearly 18 years ago, ...

The Earth’s climate is a dynamic entity, continuously evolving over billions of years with alternating periods of extreme heat and cold. Recent scientific studies indicate that the Earth is subtly ...

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Researchers in Germany have now directly observed this wobble with the highest precision yet thanks to a large ring laser gyroscope they developed for this purpose. The instrument, which is located in ...

When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.

Earth tilted, but it had nothing to do with weird space phenomena and everything to do with how people are pumping groundwater and shipping it across the planet, a study found. The findings of a study ...

The Earth has always had a tilt to its axis of 23.5 degrees, which is why we have seasons and daylight saving time. But if you've felt a bit off-balance, you can blame your fellow humans: The pumping ...

For the first time, researchers at ETH Zurich have been able to fully explain the various causes of long-term polar motion in the most comprehensive modeling to date, using AI methods. Their model and ...

Why does the Earth’s tilt create our season? The Earth orbits the Sun, but with a tilt. That tilt is important to those of us on the planet because it creates our seasons. How does that work? What ...
