Earth’s radiation budget through lunar observations. This method promises to overcome many of the limitations faced by ...

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

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Earth's radiation budget is a core process of the Earth-atmosphere system, closely linked to global climate and environmental ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

BEIJING -- A new study has revealed that observing Earth from the moon serves as a powerful way of seeing the planet's true, global radiation signature, cutting through the "noise" of local weather to ...

A pull in the right direction ...

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 ...

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
