Researchers are on firmer ground when it comes to the physiological impacts of increased UV radiation. With the weakened magnetic field, more harmful radiation would have reached Earth’s surface, ...

Researchers have uncovered that both ocean currents and atmospheric changes contribute equally to a cold patch in the North ...

New research reveals that only the oldest and fastest-sinking oceanic plates can transport water deep into Earth’s mantle, ...

Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and ...

The analysis of global temperature trends at various regional and temporal dimensions has received considerable interest from the scientific community over the past century due to the growing ...

A patch of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland is cooling while much of the world warms. The origin of this "cold blob ...

Our climate seems to be more sensitive to greenhouse gas emissions than some researchers had hoped, meaning the world will ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake ...

Global temperatures were the hottest on record in 2024; it was the first year where the average temperature topped 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial times.

This map of Earth in 2024 shows global surface temperature anomalies, or how much warmer or cooler each region of the planet was compared to the average from 1951 to 1980.

Did you know there’s a massive dent in Earth’s magnetic field? It’s called the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), and NASA is keeping a close eye on it. Stretching from South America across the ...
