A peer-reviewed study published in Nature Geoscience has found that during Earth’s most extreme ancient warming periods, between 66 and 47.8 million years ago, rainfall across mid-latitude regions ...

Ocean temperatures may be quietly protecting the world from a global drought catastrophe. By analyzing more than a century of climate data, researchers discovered that droughts rarely spread across ...

As strong winds and dry conditions return to the borderland, officials are turning their focus to the fire weather and prevention. The 4th Annual Earth, Wind and Fire Integrated Warming Team Workshop ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. And yet, new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, was skeptical when he read recent studies that showed the gravitational pull from Mars being connected to Earth’s long-term climate ...

A new climate study has found that the Earth is warming faster than ever recorded, with the rate rising to about 0.35°C per ...

Small but mighty, the red planet — our celestial neighbor — has made Earth’s climate what it is today. Mars’ gravitational pull serves as a stabilizing force for our home’s orbit, tilt and position ...
