Earth system models are essential tools for studying complex planetary processes, including interactions between the atmosphere and biosphere.

NASA scientists have uncovered significant changes in the global water cycle over the past two decades, largely driven by ...

Earth system models (ESMs ... Comparing the land carbon cycle model component of an ESM with observations could involve three types of test. First, a process, such as the response of organic ...

For the first time in recorded history the system that moves water around the ... in "atmospheric rivers" as part of the global water cycle, explained the report from the Global Commission on ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

The first of two sessions exploring the water cycle - the way the water on Earth keeps going around and around. The sessions make reference to the way the sun and the clouds cause water droplets ...

The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle focused on carbon and how it is sequestered in and moves between different reservoirs in the Earth system. A range of non-methane volatile organic ...

Climate change and human activities are causing significant disruptions to Earth's natural systems, including the global ...

As climate change worsens and extreme weather events become the norm of the day, a new study led by American space agency, Nasa, confirms that Earth's water cycle is shifting in unprecedented ways.

"If we want to predict the effects of climate change on Earth's water resources, we need data showing how the hydrologic cycle will respond at a small scale where we can define mechanisms ...

The study results suggest that Earth system models used to simulate the future global water cycle should evolve to integrate the ongoing effects of human activities. With more data and improved ...
