At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. And yet, new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping ...

High-resolution study of Jurassic mudstones in China’s Sichuan Basin reveals that astronomical cycles control climate, sedimentation, and organic matter accumulation—key insights for global shale oil ...

If 24 hours already feel too short, imagine trying to fit your whole routine into just 19. According to new research, that was everyday reality on our planet for roughly a billion years in deep time.

In this video, we dive into the fascinating theory of the Milankovitch Cycles — an astronomical explanation for ice ages, interglacial periods, and dramatic climate shifts that have shaped our planet ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Economic cycles feature expansion, peak, contraction, and trough stages. Investors adjust strategies based on the current economic phase. Government tools like interest rates help manage these cycles.

New research is drawing urgent attention to Milankovitch cycles — the slow but powerful orbital rhythms that have dictated Earth’s climate for millions of years. Scientists say these astronomical ...

A new study by UC Davis and Chinese researchers shows how extraterrestrial forces move Earth's climate into a glacial phase both over the last 34 million years and 300 million years. Recent rapid ...

The American Southwest has been gripped by an epic drought that has lasted decades and strained the fast-growing region’s naturally limited water resources. The megadrought—thought to be the worst in ...

This month, I will focus on what I believe is the most important driver of climate change away from human behaviour. How much can we, in fact, change by aiming for net zero? Several regions around the ...
