A study says the Mid-Pleistocene Transition may have been linked to previous erosion of continental soils that subsequently allowed glaciers to stick to the underlying hard bedrock more efficiently.

A new study that modeled changes in the world’s 45 different ‘life zones’ from climate change revealed that climate impacts may soon triple over these areas if the earth continues ‘business-as-usual’ emissions. Title: Climate change will triple impacts to world’s ‘life zones’ unless emission rates are dramatically reducedSourced From: www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/11/211101190844.htmPublished Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2021 … Climate change will triple impacts to world’s ‘life zones’ unless emission rates are dramatically reduced

It is estimated that about 5-10 volcanoes worldwide are capable of producing a super-eruption that could catastrophically affect global climate. One of these volcanoes hides below the waters of Lake Toba in Sumatra and has caused two super-eruptions in the last one million years. But when will the next one be? Will there be any … The silent build-up to a super-eruption

Climate ‘tipping points’ can be better understood and predicted using climate change data taken from the ancient past, new research shows.

A new study strengthens the case that climate change has been the main cause of the growing amount of land in the western U.S. destroyed by large wildfires. And researchers say the trend is likely to worsen.

Radiocarbon records are critical to understanding the history of Earth’s climate, magnetic field, and the Sun’s activity, say researchers.

They’re born. They live once, erupting for a period that might last for days, years or decades. Then, they go dark and die. This narrative describes the life of a monogenetic volcano, a type of volcanic hazard that can pose important dangers despite an ephemeral existence. The landscape of the southwestern U.S. is heavily scarred … Let’s talk about the 1,800-plus ‘young’ volcanoes in the US Southwest

In a new study, researchers found that during epochs of extreme heat — 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than today — Earth may have experienced cycles of dryness followed by massive rain storms hundreds of miles wide that could dump more than a foot of rain in a matter of hours. The research not … On ancient Earth, it never rained but it poured

Earth’s atmosphere has a unique ability to cleanse itself by way of invisible molecules in the air that act as minuscule cleanup crews. The most important molecule in that crew is the hydroxyl radical (OH), nicknamed the ‘detergent of the atmosphere’ because of its dominant role in removing pollutants. New research will aid in building … Better models of atmospheric ‘detergent’ can help predict climate change

Precambrian cratons — some of Earth’s oldest rocks — were uninhabitable for microbes for much of their existence, with the longest period of habitability not much beyond a billion years, and many only for the past 50 million to 300 million years, according to a paper correlating Earth’s deep biosphere with geologic history.
