Semi-volatile organic compounds diffuse between atmospheric particles
The air is full of microscopic airborne particles called aerosols. Aerosols can come from natural sources, like fires or sea spray, or they can come from human-made sources, like emissions from...The air is full of microscopic airborne particles called aerosols.

Why does our planet experience an ice age every 100,000 years?
This mysterious phenomena, dubbed the '100,000 year problem', has been occurring for the past million years or so and leads to vast ice sheets covering North America, Europe and Asia. Up until ...This mysterious phenomena, dubbed the '100,000 year problem', has been occurring for the past million years or so and leads to vast ice sheets covering North America, Europe and Asia.

Predicting climate impacts on ecosystems will require scientists to widen the lens
While such studies can provide important insights, this narrow approach can also be ecologically and climatically unrealistic, according to a new paper by Yale researchers.While such studies can provide important insights, this narrow approach can also be ecologically and climatically unrealistic, according to a new paper by Yale researchers.

Urbanization: The historical cause of low oxygen conditions in European lakes
The researchers analyzed information such as climate, land use, and lake sediment data from more than 1,500 European watersheds. For the first time, they compared reconstructions of land occupa...The researchers analyzed information such as climate, land use, and lake sediment data from more than 1,500 European watersheds.
