Using geochemical analyses of marine sediments, researchers have been able to quantitatively reconstruct the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation over the past 12,000 years. The international ...

For Earth, it means periods of higher incoming solar radiation and warmer climate in cycles of 2.4 million years. The researchers found that the warmer cycles correlate with an increased occurrence of ...

A new study strengthens evidence that the oceans and climate are linked in an intricate dance, and that rapid climate change may be related to how vigorously ocean currents transport heat from low to ...

San Antonio — Oct. 23, 2007 — Space physicists have long assumed that the magnetosphere at Jupiter circulates that planet’s magnetic field in the same way as Earth. At Earth, this circulation drives ...

During glacial epochs, changes in large‐scale ocean circulation exerted a profound control on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and global climate. Cooler temperatures, expanded sea ice and altered ...

Scientists have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming patterns and the speeding up of deep ocean circulation.

Scientists from the Universities of Sydney and Sorbonne University have used the geological record of the deep sea to discover a connection between the orbits of Earth and Mars, past global warming ...
