The research team looked at atmospheric gas measurements taken every two weeks from aircraft over a six-year period over the northeast United States to collect…
Their reproductive strategy spelled the beginning of the end: The fact that dinosaurs laid eggs put them at a considerable disadvantage compared to viviparous…
Local weather observations, soundings, and computer models, and data from satellites like GOES-13 give forecasters information about developing weather…
Research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History shows that ammonites—an extinct type of shelled mollusk that's closely related to…
Such lake drainages may affect sea-level rise, with implications for coastal communities, according to the researchers. “This is the first evidence that…
As the particles interacted with the magnetic fields, the incoming stream of energy caused stormy conditions near Earth. Some scientists believe that it was…
International teams of researchers, including two scientists from the University of Rochester, have been studying the location and behaviour of magma chambers…
From March–May, the rains are expected to total only 60 to 85 percentage of the average rainfall in this region. This is a significant deterioration compared…
In Africa, in particular, the survival of large numbers of people is directly dependent on farming. How must land use there be organized in order to cushion…
Detected by means of carefully scheduled observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, the newly witnessed Uranian light show consisted of short-lived, faint,…
During the massive oil spill from the ruptured Deepwater Horizon well in 2010, it seemed at first like there might be a quick fix: a containment dome lowered…
The researchers published their findings, “Hadrosaurs Were Perennial Polar Residents,” in the April issue of the journal The Anatomical Record: Advances in…
The second-largest mass extinction in Earth's history coincided with a short but intense ice age during which enormous glaciers grew and sea levels dropped. Although it has long been agreed that the so-called Late Ordovician mass extinction—which occurred about 450 million years ago—was related to climate change, exactly how the climate change produced the extinction has not been known. …
Rapidly dropping water levels of the Dead Sea, the lowest point on the earth's surface heralded for its medicinal properties, has been a source of ecological…
What makes the discovery unique are the two eggs preserved near articulated bones of its hindlimb. This is the first time the eggs are found in a close…
Each of the six studies uses the latest concepts and methods in geographic information systems (GIS)-based research to determine how the geographic location…
