A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...

In the whole history of Earth's climate, few events are as extreme as those that geologists call "Snowball Earth." "These are times when geologic evidence indicates Earth froze over, essentially from ...

Scientists have come up with a model to better understand how weathering, the process that acts as Earth's thermostat, responds to changing global temperatures. Rocks, rain and carbon dioxide help ...

For many hundreds of millions of years, the average temperature at the surface of the Earth has varied by not much more than 20° Celsius, facilitating life on our planet. To maintain such stable ...

We are adopting several Earth system models (ESMs) ranging from GENIE, as an intermediate complexity ESM, through to CESM (CLM) and UKESM (JULES), as full complexity, high-resolution ESMs, to ...

New research published in PNAS suggests that not as much carbon dioxide is being removed from the atmosphere by way of the weathering of rocks as was previously thought. The news comes from scientists ...

Over the past year, Dr Euripides Kantzas, Dr Peter Wade and Dr Mark Lomas have refined our 1-D vertical reactive transport with steady-state flow dynamics and a source term representing rock grain ...
