How far would leaf-eating insects go to dine on their favorite food? Perhaps the other side of the world, according to researchers at Penn State who found insect damage on fossil leaves from South America that...
Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low over the waves of a fjord, before noticing the tiny shadow of a seabird far below...

New microfossils suggest earlier rise in complex life

Microfossils from Western Australia may capture a jump in the complexity of life that coincided with the rise of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere and...

Why Antarctic ice shelves are losing their mass and how it leads to global sea level rise

The Greenland ice sheet (GIS) and Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) contribute largely to global mean sea level (GMSL) changes, though the seas surrounding the...

Study reveals new insights into how fast-moving glaciers may contribute to sea level rise

Climate change is resulting in sea level rise as ice on land melts and oceans expand. How much and how fast sea levels will...

Greenland already locked in to major sea level rise

Even without any future global warming, Greenland's melting ice sheet will cause major sea level rise with potentially "ominous" implications over this century as...

World’s biggest ice sheet could cause massive sea rise without action

The world's biggest ice sheet could cause "several meters" of sea-level rise over centuries if the global temperature rises more than 2°C, according to...

Hidden in caves: Mineral overgrowths reveal unprecedented modern sea-level rise

The early 1900s were an exciting time across the world, with rapid advances in the steel, electric and automobile industries. The industrial changes also...

Great Lakes levels are likely to see continued rise in next three decades

The Great Lakes in the Midwest U.S. comprise the largest unfrozen freshwater stores on Earth. But too much of a good thing can create...

Researchers demonstrate new link between greenhouse gases and sea level rise

A new study provides the first evidence that rising greenhouse gases have a long-term warming effect on the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica. Scientists...
