Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Earth's slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by researchers from China, Belgium, and Austria shows that these orbital motions can ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. Yet new research reveals the ...

This doesn’t mean Mars causes ice ages on its own. Orbital cycles are only part of the picture. Earth’s oceans, atmosphere, ...

Milankovitch cycles describe slow, predictable changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt that influence long-term climate patterns.

Researchers discovered Mars subtly affects Earth’s orbit and axial tilt. These small changes help trigger ice ages and ...

Tiny plastic particles drifting through the oceans may be quietly weakening one of Earth’s most powerful climate defenses.

Climate change is not only warming the planet and disrupting rainfall, it is also quietly rewiring the way nitrogen moves through the world’s croplands, forests, and grasslands. This hidden shift in ...

The remnants of ice attached to the coast offer astounding insights into the climate history of past millennia. An ...
