The Earth is a sphere, and it comprises spheres: atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, lithosphere and biosphere -- in short, all of the cycles that interact to influence Earth's weather and climate.

Food production is already one of the biggest stressors to our planet, but it's made substantially more challenging by the interaction of Earth system processes, according to new research. Food ...

Earth's systems are nearing tipping points that could plunge the planet into a "hothouse" regime — but there's still time to ...

Earth’s climate balance isn’t just governed by the slow weathering of silicate rocks, which capture carbon and stabilize temperature over eons. New research reveals that biological and oceanic ...

Observe the dynamics of earth systems interactions through climate, hydrologic, and land use systems study at landscape to global scales. Earth systems research often requires the use of spatially ...

The rotation of the Earth's inner core may be reversing, scientists have found in a study that sheds new light on geological processes occurring deep within our planet. The results of the research, ...

A new NASA-backed study—relying on data from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) satellite—suggests that ...
