Climate shifts triggered modern humans’ first migrations out of their Southern African homeland
A landmark study pinpoints the birthplace of modern humans in southern Africa and suggests how past climate shifts drove their first migration. A study has concluded that the earliest ancestors […]
Ocean temperatures turbocharge April tornadoes over Great Plains region
New research, published in the journal Science Advances, has found that unusual ocean temperatures in the tropical Pacific and Atlantic can drastically increase April tornado occurrences over the Great Plains […]
Impacts of climate change detectable at vastly different timescales across different ocean processes
The contemporary ocean provides a climate service by absorbing excess heat and carbon from the atmosphere, thereby slowing the pace of rising global temperatures. This service, however, comes with penalty — namely […]
Icebergs delay Southern Hemisphere future warming
New research, published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, has found that Antarctic icebergs can weaken and delay the effect of Global Warming in the Southern Hemisphere. Unabated Global […]
