A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial ...

A new study published in the Journal of Climate reveals how surface warming in Antarctica, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

The study found that those aerosols could warm parts of the upper atmosphere by about 1.5 degrees Celsius within one or two ...

Ice-sheet melt temporarily intensified Southern Ocean stratification between ice ages and warmer interglacial periods, thus ...

The southern Indian Ocean off the west coast of Australia is becoming less salty at an astonishing rate, largely due to ...

Frequent deployment of satellites and re-entries by the rockets that deploy them might pose a risk to the Earth's upper atmosphere, a study indicates.

Scientists can now follow the path of a single drop of water across the globe. Water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and some of these atoms naturally ...

Scientists have long used isotopes in water molecules to study where atmospheric moisture comes ...

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 ...

The Pacific Ocean is warming so quickly that scientists had to find a new method for detecting and predicting El Niño and La ...

Rainfall is often treated as a gift of geography — a function of latitude, oceans, and atmospheric circulation. A growing body of research suggests that in the tropics, it is also a product of ...
