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.

Whether as a sponsor or donor, a member or volunteer, or an employee or fellow, you can make a difference. The Earth system - the atmospheric, hydrologic, geologic, and biologic cycles that circulate ...

Climate and Earth system modelling is the use of mathematical representations of key components and properties of the atmosphere, ocean and biosphere to construct computer models. These models ...

During the Hadean, the solar system forms out of gas and dust, the sun begins to emit light and heat, and Earth takes shape. Meteors and other galactic debris shower the planet over its first half ...

Earth system models (ESMs) integrate the interactions of atmosphere, ocean, land, ice, and biosphere to estimate the state of regional and global climate under a wide variety of conditions.

Primordial helium from the beginning of the solar system may be stuck inside Earth's solid core, new research suggests. The findings could have implications for a long-standing debate about how ...

The solar system is integral to humans because of its role as Earth's habitat. Decades of research have proven to astronomers that Earth in many ways is dependent on the conditions of the solar ...
