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

What processes have regulated climate over the course of Earth’s history? Researchers are addressing this question in the ...

New research shows warming events can, under certain conditions, trigger long-term cooling strong enough to resemble past ice ages.

New research shows that today’s global warming could eventually overshoot into runaway cooling, setting the stage for a ...

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

The extent of this cooling effect depends heavily on atmospheric oxygen levels. In Earth's distant past, when oxygen was ...

New reconstructions of 540 million years of climate history show the planet tumbling between icehouse and hothouse states, revealing how rare and vulnerable our temperate moment is. Some 4 billion ...

Welcome to the third iteration of The Athletic’s annual defense ranking tiers. There’s a surprising shortage of truly ...

It creates a positive feedback loop: the recycled nutrients fuel even more plankton growth, which removes more oxygen, leading to more nutrient recycling. The overall effect is the plankton’s ...
