Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical ... according to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project and idealized model experiments. Human activities release huge amounts ...

Terrestrial carbon cycle dynamics remain one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in climate projections, with diverging estimates of ecosystem carbon uptake, affecting the accuracy of Earth system ...

Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) ...

Rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs aren't just scenic parts of our landscape—they're also vital engines for life on Earth ...

A climate model based on the community is crucial in climate change adaptation because it can show where best to build and ...

Researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea have now tried to answer this question by running several impact simulations with a ...

With an underlying universal theme of convection, a new textbook introduces upper-level geology, geophysics, physics, and engineering students to the geophysics behind the Earth System.

A major ocean current in the Arctic, the Beaufort Gyre, is changing rapidly due to climate warming—and this could trigger a ...

Our solar system's journey around the center of the Milky Way takes it through varying galactic environments, and one may have had a lasting impact on Earth's climate, according to a new study.

Global climate models predict that the ocean around Antarctica should be warming, but in reality, those waters have cooled ...

Rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs aren't just scenic parts of our landscape -- they're also vital engines for life on Earth. These inland waters 'breathe' oxygen, just like we do. But a new study ...
