Earth orbital variations and sea ice formations: Key to ice age periodicity
Using computer simulations, the scientists have discovered a further truth to the cyclic nature of the ice and glacial age on earth. The 100000-year cycle of extended cold periods through the history where the average temperature across the globe drops and in the Polar Regions, the seas ice further declines the ambient conditions required for sustaining […]
Volcano erupts in Alaska spewing ash 30000ft high into the atmosphere
One of the active volcanic islands of Alaska belonging to the Aleutian island chain erupted on Wednesday and has been spewing ash into the atmosphere for almost as high as 30000 ft. Bogoslav Island, the island chain located off the coast of mainland Alaska into the berring sea, has the popularity of being one of […]

NOAA Warns Intense Scenario of Global Sea Level Rise to 8.2 Feet By 2100
The rising level of the sea has turned out to be the most prime concerns for scientists across the globe. On an average, the global sea level is mounting at a solemn pace, and now a new study report published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) too raises the bar for sea level […]
Global Forest Ecosystem Detained Their Inhalation during Topical Warming Interruption: Scientists
The impacts of changing climatic patterns are notable on the entire globe, starting from the South Pole to the North Pole, including the global forest ecosystem. Instead of human being, the climate change and global warming are affecting the forest ecosystems more and numerous previously held studies have confirmed this already. But a recently conducted […]
World Economic Forum Partners With UCSB’s Marine Science Institute To Save Oceanic Ecosystem
Flowing over three-quarters of the earth and holding 97% of the entire planet, oceans have become the lifeline of earth. They not only emit over half of the oxygen in the atmosphere but also soak up the most carbon from the atmosphere, making us survive on the earth. However, despite all the advantageous points, oceans […]
Scientists Expect Sea Level to Ascend 20 Meters Higher Than Expected
We all know how changes in climate pattern are contributing to the unexpected and continual rise in sea level, across the globe. Organizations and governments throughout the world are giving their best effort to cap the global warming and Paris Protocol is one of them. However, a recently published study has come up with a […]
Crack in Larsen C Ice Shelf Is Moving Ahead And Has Expanded Extra 10km since 1st January
Back in December last year, a team of scientists from NASA managed to photograph the massive crack in the Larsen C Ice Shelf. Under the IceBridge mission, NASA’s scientists clicked an oblique view of a huge fissure in the Larsen C ice shelf of Antarctic Peninsula and since then, the site was under surveillance. However, […]
