Rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may trigger a series of geological and biological processes that could ensure the next ...

Milankovitch Cycles describe how variations in Earth’s orbit and tilt influence long-term climate shifts, including the ...

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit around the ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to predict ...

Coccolithophores, tiny planktonic architects of Earth’s climate, capture carbon, produce oxygen, and leave behind geological ...

Discover the natural causes of climate change with Milankovitch Cycles, impacting Earth's orbit, axis, and solar energy ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

UC Riverside researchers have discovered a piece that was missing in previous descriptions of the way Earth recycles its ...

Our species likes it cold. Homo sapiens evolved in — and still inhabits — one of Earth’s rare and fragile ice ages, periods distinguished not by an abundance of saber-toothed cats and woolly mammoths ...

The UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said in a report released on Thursday that the global water cycle was ...
