Abrupt climate shifts are well documented in Earth's history and are commonly associated with ice-sheet dynamics during past ice ages. However, how similar millennial-scale climate variability could ...
Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.
The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.
The Nature Index 2024 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...
"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if Mars weren't there?" ...
