Melting glaciers and ice sheets are raising sea levels while the Arctic is poised to log one of its worst winters on ...

A new study suggests climate change is doing something few people could ever notice: it’s making Earth’s days slightly longer.

The length of a day is not immutable. Factors ranging from the gravitational pull of the Moon to complex movements within the planet constantly modify the time it takes for Earth to complete one ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

Between 2000 and 2020, Earth's day length increased by 1.33 milliseconds per century due to climate-related mass ...

It’s a bit like reading a very dense book – it’s small in size, but it’s full of information.” Paleoclimatologists like ...

Queen bumble bees can survive fully submerged underwater for over one week, revealing how these pollinators endure spring ...

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth's rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 ...

Scientists have found a promising new way to manufacture one of industry’s toughest materials—tungsten carbide–cobalt—using advanced 3D printing. Normally, producing this ultra-hard material requires ...

NASA satellites detected a phytoplankton bloom around Antarctic iceberg A-23A as it melted, showing how icebergs can fertilize the ocean.

It might sometimes feel like the days are starting to drag on, but scientists say that this isn't necessarily all in your head.

Did you know Earth's days are getting longer? A new study links this unprecedented slowdown in our planet's rotation to climate change and rising sea levels. Learn how this affects GPS and our future.
