Old coral colonies suggest that a prehistoric warming event called the mid-Holocene Thermal Maximum may have occurred earlier than previously thought.

In a first-of-its-kind demonstration, scientists provide experimental support for a possible mechanism behind the formation of coronal mass ejections.

Record-breaking oceanic and atmospheric conditions led to a remarkable season in a key Pacific hurricane development region.

In Los Angeles, replacing lawns with native plants that need less water could lead to hotter days and cooler nights.

Water-carved valleys may be relatively young, challenging assumptions about the history of the Red Planet's climate.

Tracking isotope patterns in tap water also reveals metropolitan water management choices, population ranges, episodes of environmental stress, and even information on household income.

A suite of simulations run with a spectrum of starting conditions shows that climate change will reduce corn crop yield, although the degree of reductions varies widely.

Ocean and atmospheric data provide evidence for how sea surface temperatures affect the Southern Annular Mode.

Scientists explore microscopic marble deformation at high pressures and temperatures using a novel experimental technique that could improve our understanding of rock deformation in nature.

For the first time, scientists have observed a deviation from the typical alternating pattern of easterly and westerly winds in the equatorial stratosphere.
