The evaluation and ensemble analysis of Earth system models is crucial for model improvements and a prerequisite for reliable climate projections of the 21st century to be used as guide-lines for ...

It is difficult to imagine the difference in size between the Sun and Earth, or the distance between them. This activity will help you to visualise it. If you create this model, the Earth and Sun ...

For decades, scientists assumed that life on Earth emerged through a chain of highly improbable flukes. But a new theory suggests it may have instead arrived just in time.

Studying how biological processes and climate are related requires a new type of climate model: the Earth system model (ESM). ESMs include physical processes like those in other climate models but ...

Up here on the International Space Station I don’t get affected by the seasons but on Earth the seasons are always ... Let’s take a look at this model. The Sun is a star, a giant ball of ...

suggesting that the phenomenon of lithospheric dripping can occur anywhere on Earth and, indeed, already has. Their findings may also serve as a model for investigating similar processes on other ...

By the 17th century, famed engineer and astronomer Galileo Galilei refined Copernicus' heliocentric model using observations ... were perfect spheres that orbited Earth in concentric circles.

Jo Pearl, meanwhile, uses the clay of the earth to model a multitude of strange, suspended ceramic forms, some with tentacles, others forming spirals, stars or clustered spheres, all of which ...
