Riddell-Young and Brook were studying the past, but their knowledge helps researchers better understand the effects of ...

Emperor penguin populations are falling much faster than expected. Ice is melting beneath their chicks before they’re ready.

Just below Greenland is a menacing stretch of water known as the Cold Blob. As the planet heats up, the Cold Blob remains a spooky outlier — positioned right above the area where the Atlantic Ocean’s ...

Today the Arctic is still a site of peril and promise. A new race to the North Pole is under way, as politicians dream of ...

Limiting warming to 1.5°C could prevent twice the glacier loss seen in a +2.7°C scenario. Even if global temperatures were to ...

Dr Sohail said it is predicted that the slow-down will be similar under the lower emissions scenario, provided ice melting accelerates as predicted in other studies. "The 2015 Paris Agreement ...

Two studies funded by NASA have concluded that Earth’s rotation is slowing due to Earth’s melting polar ... Just as an ice skater extends arms and slows their movement, the Earth’s added ...

“As the ice sheets melt, the earth’s oblateness increases and the region around the equator elongates slightly. The moment of inertia increases and the rotation rate gets smaller.” Water ...

Global warming is slowing the rotation ... the Earth's interior and the movement of groundwater through aquifers. Perhaps the most important result, though, measured how the melting of ice sheets ...

Now a study out Monday shows that the melting of the polar ice ... fast rotation becomes slower because the masses move away from the axis of rotation, increasing physical inertia.” Earth ...
