Emergence of Plant Colonies Altered the Climate Regulation Pattern of Earth

According to a new study by researchers from University College London (UCL) and Yale University, the arrival of plants on Earth around 400 million years ago may have altered the way the planet regulates its climate naturally.

Proliferation of Marine Animals and Terrestrial Plants Changed Key Mechanism Controlling Earth's Climate

Earth's climate was relatively stable for a long period of time. For three billion years, temperatures were mostly warm and carbon dioxide levels high - until a shift occurred about 400 million years ago.

Sun's Radio Waves Could be Used to Measure the Depth of Ice Sheets

The sun provides a daunting source of electromagnetic disarray - chaotic, random energy emitted by the massive ball of gas arrives to Earth in a wide spectrum of radio frequencies.

Researchers Use AI to Predict the Impact of Future Forest Fires

The risk of forest fires is growing with the increase in temperatures. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are employing artificial intelligence to evaluate the long-term effect on forest ecosystems due to the increased number of forest fires.

Climate Change and the Moon’s ‘Wobble’ Could Result in Extreme Flooding by 2030s

NASA warns the 2030s could see a rapid increase in flooding, particularly for US coastal regions, due to rising sea levels and the moon’s 'wobble'.

Study Evaluates Global Biodiversity Implications of Alternative Energy Strategies

Climate change mitigation efforts have led to shifts from fossil-fuel dependence to large-scale renewable energy. However, renewable energy sources require significant land and could come at a cost to ecosystems.

Humans can Gain Better Understanding of Climate Effects from Animals and Insects

If we pay closer attention to how birds, rabbits and termites transform their local living spaces in response to varying climate conditions, we could become much better at predicting what impact climate change will have on them in future.

Research Reveals How Sea-Level Rise Could Threaten the Fabric of Bay Area Communities

Rather than waiting for certainty in sea-level rise projections, policymakers can plan now for future coastal flooding by addressing existing inequities among the most vulnerable communities in flood zones, according to Stanford research.
