An international team of scientists has synchronized key climate records from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to unravel the ...

Earth’s climate over millions of years is shaped by both internal forces, like volcanic activity, and external ones, such as ...

Scientists discovered that volcanic eruptions in India’s Deccan Traps 66 million years ago released gases that altered ...

Despite decades of research, precisely how the various parts of the solar insolation cycles affect glacial cycles is not ...

Because the major changes in Earth's ice masses occurred in the Northern ... or boreal, summer insolation was the most important forcing of the glacial-interglacial cycle. Ice sheets respond ...

This is called insolation. Only approximately 52 per cent of this insolation reaches the earth's surface. The rest is absorbed by water vapour, dust and clouds, or is reflected by the Earth's ...

The Earth's axial rotation is perturbed by gravitational ... Since precession controls summer insolation, it effectively controls the amount and northward penetration of the monsoonal rains ...

In this region, incoming insolation exceeds outgoing radiation. There's an energy deficit between 35˚ North and the North Pole, and between 35˚ South and the South Pole. Here the outgoing ...
