Nitrogen is an important component of the global environment, affecting agriculture, climate, human health, and ecosystems.

Milankovitch Cycles describe how variations in Earth’s orbit and tilt influence long-term climate shifts, including the timing of ice ages and warm periods. As shutdown becomes 2nd longest ever, ...

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), along ...

Earth’s climate balance isn’t just governed by the slow weathering of silicate rocks, which capture carbon and stabilize temperature over eons. New research reveals that biological and oceanic ...

The planet's seasons are not as immutable as previously thought. Turns out there are parts of the world that have different seasonal timing than those regions even just a short distance away. This ...

DECATUR, Ill. (WAND) - The weather can be crazy one day and calm the next, then stormy again. It is because the weather works in cycles, thanks in large part to our home planet's tilt and location in ...

Explore the ocean's hidden role in climate regulation. Learn how a powerful nutrient feedback loop and carbon storage on the seafloor may explain past ice ages.

The Earth is tilted at a 23.5-degree angle, and as it travels around the sun, the Earth’s axis is tilted toward or away from the sun. During the equinox, the Earth’s axis and its orbit line up, ...

The UN weather agency said Wednesday that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere hit new record highs last year, and heat trapped by such greenhouse gases is turbo-charging the Earth's climate and ...
