New simulations show red planet affects Milankovitch cycles that shape how solar energy is distributed on Earth over millions ...

Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is ...

Despite its small size, Mars seems to have a huge impact on the orbital cycles that govern Earth’s climate, especially those ...

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

Abrupt climate shifts are well documented in Earth's history and are commonly associated with ice-sheet dynamics during past ice ages. However, how similar millennial-scale climate variability could ...

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods ...

How does climate change influence the planet’s nitrogen cycle? This is what a recent study published in Nitrogen Cycling hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated climate change’s impact ...

The earth (and humanity) would be very different without our smaller red neighbor. In A Nutshell Computer simulations show that without Mars, a key 2.4-million-year climate cycle that helps pace Earth ...

Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this ...
