Scientists have long been trying to understand how the Andes and other broad, high-elevation mountain ranges were formed. New research by Carmala Garzione, a…
This observation is substantiated by a new online data collection, established by geographers of Universität Hamburg’s Center for Earth System Research and…
Some 56 million years ago, a massive pulse of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere sent global temperatures soaring. In the oceans, carbonate sediments…
In a long-term analysis conducted across several sites in the eastern United States, a team of researchers found that local factors — from levels of fungal…
The paleoclimate record for the last ice age — a time 21,000 years ago called the “Last Glacial Maximum” (LGM) — tells of a cold Earth whose northern…
