Far beneath the waters surrounding Sri Lanka lies a largely unseen frontier, a deep seabed that may contain cobalt, nickel ...

Han’s team estimates that the area covered by salty seawater in this Southern Indian Ocean region has shrunk by about 30% over the past 60 years. They describe it as the fastest freshening seen ...

My colleague just spent two months on a research icebreaker. It changed his perspective on the world in ways he didn’t expect.

It stretches nearly 480 kilometres in width. Scientists estimate that millions of cubic metres of water fall downward every second. Its flow rate is several times greater than that of the largest ...

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft detected an electrical circuit linking Saturn to its small moon Enceladus, revealing an invisible electromagnetic structure that stretches across hundreds of thousands of ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

Scientists discovered plate anomalies in Earth's mantle using seismic wave analysis. These mysterious structures challenge tectonic theories.

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being relatively warm and stable to cold and chaotic, as continental ice sheets ...

Sediments from Scotland hint that ocean-atmosphere interactions continued more than 600 million years ago despite widespread ice.

Each year, the world's leading climate scientists evaluate the most critical evidence on how our planet is changing. Their ...

The prospect of heat waves without end, increasingly destructive floods, relentless drought, rapidly rising sea levels, and the risk of “point of no return” tipping points require humanity to swiftly ...

Ocean Heat Content Reaching Record Levels Let's be honest, the oceans are acting like a sponge for our planet's fever. More than nine-tenths of the warming that has happened on Earth over the past 50 ...
