A peer-reviewed study published in Nature Geoscience has found that during Earth’s most extreme ancient warming periods, ...

Scientists say Earth is shifting from a merely warm planet toward what some describe as a “Hothouse” state, driven not just by smokestacks and tailpipes but by quieter feedbacks and thresholds. I see ...

Lunar-based measurements reveal Earth’s outgoing radiation is dominated by low-order spherical harmonics, providing unified ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, was skeptical when he read recent studies that showed the gravitational pull from Mars being connected to Earth’s long-term climate ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. And yet, new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping ...

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being ...

For 42 years, NASA satellites have tracked how sunlight powers Earth’s climate. The long record is revealing subtle shifts that could reshape climate predictions. These findings are adding new layers ...
