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...

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 ...

Extreme cold winters fuelled by jet stream and climate change
The research, carried out by an international team of scientists including the University of Sheffield, has found that warming in the Arctic may be intensifying the effects of the jet stream's ...

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.

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...

Life in ancient oceans enabled by erosion from land
As scientists continue finding evidence for life in the ocean more than 3 billion years ago, those ancient fossils pose a paradox. Organisms, including the single-celled bacteria living in the ...
