Scientists in Germany have reached a major milestone in climate research by creating the most detailed digital replica of ...

How does the Earth generate its magnetic field? While the basic mechanisms seem to be understood, many details remain unresolved. A team of researchers has introduced a simulation method that promises ...

A team of astrophysicists, geoscientists, chemists and life scientists affiliated with a host of institutions in Japan has found evidence that billions of years ago, the Earth's oceans were green. In ...

Clouds play an important role in determining the current and future temperature and global warming rate of the Earth. They simultaneously cool the Earth by reflecting sunlight and warm the planet by ...

Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the Earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole region.

The Gordon Bell Climate Prize-winning team reached a landmark this year by being the first team ever to develop a Full Earth Simulation at 1 km (extremely high) Resolution. St. Louis, MO, November 20, ...

In a paper published with Frontiers, researchers in Russia observed volunteers in isolation attempting to replicate life in deep space to see how it would impact their mood and communication styles.

Andy Hogg works for Australia's Climate Simulator (ACCESS-NRI), based at the Australian National University. He receives funding for ACCESS-NRI from the Department of Education through the National ...

It's a creeping movement, but a momentous one. Some 200 million years ago, a single, extraordinary supercontinent called Pangea dominated Earth. Ultimately, landmasses ruptured and pulled apart, ...
