Oct 1, 2014A new model shows that the Greenland ice sheet is more sensitive to climate change than previously thought, which would accelerate the rising sea levels that threaten coastal communities worldwide. -
Sep 30, 2014The atmospheric conditions associated with the unprecedented drought in California are very likely linked to human-caused climate change, researchers report. -
Sep 23, 2014Researchers have shown that sea ice removes CO2 from the atmosphere. Their finding suggests that atmospheric CO2 may increase if Arctic sea ice is reduced. -
Sep 20, 2014A recent study of the global carbon cycle offers a new perspective of Earth's climate records through time. -
Sep 16, 2014A new study published in The Journal of Geology provides support for the theory that a cosmic impact event over North America some 13,000 years ago caused a major period of climate change known as the Younger Dryas stadial, or “Big Freeze.” -
Sep 5, 2014A new study of three ice cores from Greenland documents the warming of the large ice sheet at the end of the last ice age--resolving a long-standing paradox over when that warming occurred. -
Sep 1, 2014To understand how the repeated climatic shifts over the last 120,000 years may have influenced today's patterns of genetic diversity, a team of researchers developed a new biodiversity metric called "phylogeographic endemism." -
Aug 25, 2014New research shows that viruses infecting algae are driving the life-and-death dynamics of algae's blooms. -
Aug 22, 2014Researchers show for the first time that sunlight, not microbial activity, dominates the production of carbon dioxide in Arctic inland waters. -
Aug 22, 2014New research shows that the heat absent from the surface is plunging deep in the north and south Atlantic Ocean, and is part of a naturally occurring cycle.
