The ocean is a vast and complex web of intertwined systems. Chemistry, currents, temperature and nutrients all ebb and flow, each feeding back into the others. A multinational research team, led by UC ...

This cycle therefore steadily speeds up oxygen production over the passage of Earth’s history. The research, which started whilst Dr Alcott was a Hutchinson Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University in ...

A research team from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS), along with collaborators, has found that long-term orbital variations occurring over ...

A new study reveals that Earth’s climate “thermostat” may sometimes overreact, turning global warming into an unexpected deep ...

For insight into what can happen when the Earth's carbon cycle is altered -- a cause and consequence of climate change -- scientists can look to an event that occurred some 720 million years ago. New ...

What do the Gulf of Mexico's "dead zone," global climate change and acid rain have in common? They're all a result of human impacts to Earth's biology, chemistry and geology, and the natural cycles ...

Figure 1: Schematic of the rock cycle and the evolution of controls on atmospheric oxygen. We performed a sensitivity analysis increasing shale oxygen diffusivity (controlled by porosity) and removing ...

Sticky with sediment, the bottom waters of lakes are more than their deepest, darkest layer. They bury massive portions of the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus found in runoff rolling in from the land ...

Sea temperature and ocean acidification have climbed during the last three decades to levels beyond what is expected due to natural variation alone, a new study led by Princeton researchers finds.
