Scientists have discovered a very hot planet with significant auroral activity. Detailed observations were made using the James Webb Space Telescope.
A scientific study shows that snow algae can cause greater melting in Antarctica than previously thought.
A rare deep-sea hydrothermal system has been discovered in the western Pacific that produces massive hydrogen emissions.
Scientists have found data on atmospheric CO₂ concentrations in the Mesozoic reconstructed from dinosaur tooth enamel.
CSIC scientists show that European forests have been losing their ability to absorb carbon for years
Europe's forests have lost their ability to absorb carbon in recent years due to various factors, which are analysed and quantified in a recent study by the CSIC (Spanish National Research Council).
Described as "Earth's twin kryptonite," jadarite is a rare and fascinating mineral that quickly caught the attention of scientists and Superman fans alike.
Earth's clouds are rapidly diminishing, and this could partially explain the record-breaking temperatures of recent years on our planet, trends that could continue in the future.
Human mega-constructions can have local, regional, global, and even planetary impacts, as in the case of the Three Gorges Dam in China.
Titan is a unique world. It's Saturn's largest moon, even larger than our own. It's the only rocky world in the entire solar system, apart from Earth, to have a significant atmosphere.
A group of scientists shows that the atmosphere's growing "water thirst" is worsening droughts, even in places where rainfall has remained constant. What's happening?
Substances known as PFAS, forever chemicals known for their environmental persistence and potential links to health problems, are being discovered in beer.
More than 14,000 years ago, there was a solar storm so massive that trees still remember it. Dwarfing modern solar storms, the event would devastate technology if it happened again today. How would it affect us?
A tropical depression named Alvin could form over warm waters off the west coast of Mexico, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Amber deposits found in ancient deep-sea sediments could represent one of the oldest records of a tsunami to date, according to research published in Scientific Reports.
Biological particles, such as pollen, bacteria, spores, and plant matter floating in the air, are particularly effective at promoting the formation of ice in clouds, which in turn induces more intense precipitation and must be taken into account in numerical prediction models.
A plume of incandescent rock, which erupted from the Earth's mantle millions of years ago, helped forge a land bridge that connected Asia and Africa for the first time, allowing land-dwelling animals, like the ancestors of elephants and others, to cross between the two continents.
Scientists know that cattle are a source of greenhouse gases through their belching and flatulence, particularly methane emissions. Various studies have attempted to reduce this significant source of methane.
Storms are rare in the cold, dry Arctic, but a surprising event in August 2019 has led scientists to reconsider how these phenomena form in the polar regions.
Scientists are still analysing whether the Hunga Tonga volcano's explosion warmed or cooled the Earth's atmosphere after injecting large amounts of water vapor, a powerful greenhouse gas, into the stratosphere.
