Small but mighty, the red planet — our celestial neighbor — has made Earth’s climate what it is today. Mars’ gravitational ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

New research highlights the complex relationship between Earth's tectonic plate movements and climate shifts. Contrary to ...

Study finds Mars helps pace Earth's ice ages through gravity. Remove Mars, and a major 2.4-million-year climate rhythm ...

Our neighbor Mars would hold a significant influence over Earth's climate. New research indicates that its gravity durably ...

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

New research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term ...

Research tracks deep carbon cycle over 540 million years, links icehouse and greenhouse phases to movement of tectonic plates ...

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

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

The Amazon rainforest is so big that it makes its own climate. As they photosynthesise and transpire, its billions of trees collectively produce enough moisture to form clouds. These, by some ...

Earth’s slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by ...
