Seafloor Spreading Slowdown May Have Caused 26–32m Sea Level Drop Over Millions of Years
Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, ocean crust production declined by 35 percent, leading to deeper ocean basins. This geological shift is believed to have caused a sea level drop of 26–32 meters. Research suggests that heat transfer from the mantle to the ocean decreased by 8 percent, potentially altering ocean chemistry. Some studies i...

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

Solar System’s Journey Through Orion Complex May Have Altered Earth’s Climate
Scientists have studied the solar system’s passage through the Orion complex, a dense region in space, around 14 million years ago. According to researchers, this movement may have compressed the heliosphere and increased interstellar dust reaching Earth. This dust could have influenced the planet’s climate and left traces in geological records...

New Fossils Suggest Land Life Bounced Back Faster Than Expected After End-Permian Mass Extinction
Fossil findings from the Heshanggou Formation in North China indicate that land ecosystems recovered faster than expected following the end-Permian extinction. While previous estimates suggested a prolonged uninhabitable phase, new research shows riparian zones may have stabilised within a shorter timeframe. Burrowing activity and plant regrowth su...

The Impact Of Travel On Skin: How To Protect Your Skin From Environmental Stressors
Traveling is an exciting adventure, but it can also take a toll on your skin. Changes in climate, humidity, and daily routines can lead to dryness, breakouts, and other skin issues. Understanding how travel impacts your skin can help you maintain a healthy glow.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting May Intensify Volcanic Eruptions, Study Finds
The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is linked to more intense and frequent volcanic eruptions, as found by recent research. Reduced ice mass alleviates pressure on magma chambers beneath the surface, causing them to expand and release volatile gases, which can lead to eruptions. A study has drawn connections between this process and increased volca...

Human Hunting More Responsible for Kangaroo Extinction than Climate Change
A recent study of ancient kangaroo teeth contradicts previous beliefs that climate change caused their extinction. By examining the wear on teeth, researchers found that kangaroos had flexible diets, which made them resilient to climate shifts. This evidence suggests that human hunting activities, rather than dietary limitations, played a more sign...

Antarctica’s Melting Ice Could Awaken Hidden Volcanoes, Impact Climate Change
As Antarctica’s ice sheet continues to melt, scientists warn it could awaken over 100 hidden volcanoes beneath the surface. The loss of ice reduces pressure on magma chambers, allowing the magma to expand and potentially trigger eruptions. This could lead to increased volcanic activity, releasing gases and heat that may accelerate ice melt, weake...

How Human Activity Fuels Pandemics: Climate Change and Biodiversity at the Core
Human-driven disruptions to ecosystems are linked to the rising frequency of pandemics. Climate change and biodiversity loss affect pathogen spread, increasing human exposure. Experts highlight the need to address root causes, including wildlife-human interactions, to prevent future outbreaks. The planetary health approach, focusing on ecological p...

Global Freshwater Levels Decline Since 2014, NASA-German Satellites Reveal
Data from NASA and German satellites reveal Earth's freshwater levels declined significantly after May 2014, with storage remaining persistently low. Research attributes this to global warming, major droughts, and human activity such as irrigation. The trend raises concerns over water stress, food security, and long-term environmental stability.

Greenhouse Gas is Rising Rapidly in Atmosphere Due to Human Activities, Highlights New Report
Methane levels, which are 80 times more potent than CO2 in the short term, are rising at an unprecedented rate. Human activities, such as agriculture and fossil fuel extraction, contribute significantly to this surge. Despite global efforts, including the 2021 Global Methane Pledge, methane emissions continue to climb. This trend threatens climate ...

Siberian Crater’s Mysterious Growth Could Be Due to Methane Gas, Scientists Find
In Siberia, a massive crater emerged explosively in the tundra, sending ice and rock hundreds of feet away and creating a large circular scar. This event marked the 17th crater discovered in the Yamal and Gyda peninsulas since 2013, attracting significant scientific interest. The craters are believed to be linked to climate change, with modern tool...
