Perhaps this is why I’ve found such resonance in the work of American geologist Marcia Bjornerud, who urges us to begin ...

The shortest ever day on Earth is recorded today, with Earth rotating 1.3 milliseconds faster than the standard time, ...

Even if Earth does survive, it won’t be pretty. The temperature of our planet will be about 1,300 degrees C, hot enough to ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace.

Melting glaciers have profound and far-reaching impacts on the Earth, affecting ecosystems, sea levels, climate patterns, and communities around the world.

As the last Ice Age came to an end nearly 10,000 years ago, something unexpected happened deep beneath Earth’s surface. Large glaciers began to melt. The sea levels rose quickly—about 1 ...

What would happen if all the glaciers on Earth melted? Explore the potential future impacts on sea levels, ecosystems, and humanity as we face the realities of climate change. Discover what a ...

Sadly, the melting of the Antarctic Ice Sheet shows no sign of slowing, in fact, due to a process known as the ice-albedo feedback—when less reflective ice surface decreases solar reflectance ...

Researchers in Utah specializing in mathematics and climate studies have developed new models to better understand sea ice, revealing it to be less solid than commonly perceived. Polar sea ice is ...

Cosmic dust may have helped to kick-start life on Earth, new research suggests. The findings challenge a widely held assumption that this was not a plausible explanation.

Climate change-induced melting polar ice caps slow Earth's rotation, affecting technology reliant on precise timekeeping.
