High-resolution isotope data show that a modern-like, oxygen-rich atmosphere was not established until 410 million years ago, supporting a 2-billion-year transitional oxygenation of Earth’s surface.

NEW YORK, New York, September 16, 2025 (ENS) – “Forty years ago, nations came together to take the first step in protecting the ozone layer – guided by science, united in action,” said United Nations ...

JWST observations of exoplanet TRAPPIST-1d reveal a lack of a substantial, Earth-like atmosphere, as indicated by a "flat" spectral signature lacking typical atmospheric molecule fingerprints (e.g., ...

Between 30 and 60 miles above Earth’s surface lies a largely unstudied stretch of the atmosphere. It’s too high for airplanes and weather balloons, too low for satellites and nearly impossible to ...

Earth’s climate may be more sensitive to pollution from greenhouse gas emissions than we had hoped, which could mean limiting the rise in global temperature to less than 2°C will be more difficult.

Hot air holds more moisture than cold air. That simple truth, while familiar to anyone who’s used a blow dryer or walked outside after a humid shower, is driving a hidden shift in how droughts behave.

The sun may be 93 million miles away, but that does not stop its solar activity from affecting the Earth's atmosphere, a new study from Queen's University Belfast as found. The Earth's atmosphere is ...
