Mars has always been a curious planet, often overshadowed by its larger neighbors, but recent research suggests that the Red Planet plays an unexpected role in shaping Earth’s climate. According to a ...

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper role: conducting the rhythm of Earth's carbon and climate cycles for more than ...

These cycles are fairly well understood, but what Kane's simulation has uncovered is that Mars has a significant effect on the Earth's climate as well. Of course, what with Isaac Newton and all, he ...

Sediments from Scotland hint that ocean-atmosphere interactions continued more than 600 million years ago despite widespread ice.

Scientists at the University of Southampton have uncovered evidence from ancient rocks that the Earth’s climate continued to fluctuate during its most extreme ice age – known as Snowball Earth. During ...

When it comes to global warming and climate change, we often hear news stories about tipping points where Earth's systems shift into a new and dangerous state. One such may have been reached in the ...

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 ...

How does climate change influence the planet’s nitrogen cycle? This is what a recent study published in Nitrogen Cycling hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated climate change’s impact ...
