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

Floods and droughts across the globe are moving in sync, and a powerful Pacific climate cycle is pulling the strings.

A pull in the right direction ...

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

Milankovitch cycles describe slow, predictable changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt that influence long-term climate patterns.

"Without Mars, Earth's orbit would be missing major climate cycles. What would humans and other animals even look like if ...

Despite its small size, Mars seems to have a huge impact on the orbital cycles that govern Earth’s climate, especially those ...

Climate change is usually associated with changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, but our planet's surface also plays a major ...

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper role: conducting the rhythm of Earth's carbon and climate cycles for more than ...

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 ...

A new CU Boulder-led study has revealed that recent changes in North Pacific Ocean temperatures—long believed to be the result of natural variability—are in fact being driven by human-generated ...

Scientists who work on long-term climate patterns usually stay close to Earth. The data is here, the records are clearer, and ...
