Rocky planets like our Earth may be far more common than previously thought, according to new research published in the ...

For the first time, scientists have resolved extremely intense tropical cyclones and their effect on the ocean carbon cycle ...

Earth system models have been overestimating natural nitrogen fixation by about 50%, overstating the strength of Earth’s future carbon sink.

A simulation of the planet from the DOE Energy Exascale Earth System Model, one of the large-scale models incorporated in the Earth System Grid Federation led by DOE’s Oak Ridge, Argonne and Lawrence ...

Earth system models (ESMs) integrate the interactions of atmosphere, ocean, land, ice, and biosphere to estimate the state of regional and global climate under a wide variety of conditions. A model ...

A new study reveals that if no efforts are made to stop climate change, the dieback of the Amazon rainforest may start within the 21st century. The Amazon is the world's largest rainforest. It harbors ...

A snapshot of simulated climate conditions. Blue/red shading: sea surface temperature deviations from zonal mean; gray/white shading: low clouds; green/pink shading: 10m wind speed; blue/yellow ...

Over the past week we've witnessed the many political discussions that go with the territory of a COP—or, more verbosely, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on ...

Scientists at Yale and in Singapore have devised what may be the ultimate acid test — a comprehensive model for estimating the origins of Earth’s habitability, based in part on ocean acidity. The new ...

Conventionally, the moon is thought to have formed during one big impact, but a three-impact model might make more sense ...

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 ...
