Climate change - Abrupt Changes, Earth History, Impacts: An important new area of research, abrupt climate change, has developed since the 1980s. This research has been inspired by the discovery, in the ice core records of Greenland and Antarctica, of ev
sea level changecarbon dioxideEarth's climate history is important for understanding the dynamics and feedbacks of the climate system. However, atmospheric sciences generally focus on shorter timescales, while geological sciences focus on longer timescales, but a unified picture is desired. This paper ...
The history of humanity—from the initial appearance of genusHomoover 2,000,000 years ago to the advent and expansion of the modern human species (Homo sapiens) beginning some 315,000 years ago—is integrally linked toclimate variation and change.Homo sapienshas experienced nearly two full glacia...
Throughout its long history, Earth has warmed and cooled time and again. Climate has changed when theplanet received more 1_ less sunlight due to subtle changes in_2_(it) orbit(轨道). But since the pastcentury, another force 3 (start) to influence Earth's climate. It is humanity.Global...
The context for understanding global climate change today lies in the records of Earth's past. This is demonstrated by decades of paleoclimate research by scientists in organizations such as the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), the Antarctic Geological Drilling Program (ANDRILL), and many ...
so the changes that have occurred in just the last 40 years are very troubling for scientists.As Sebastian Ferse,an ecologist at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research,Germany,explained, "In geological history,this has occurred in the blink (眨眼)of an eye.To see such changes ...
Earth's Climate History from Glaciers and Ice Cores Glaciers serve both as recorders and early indicators of climate change. Over the past 35 years our research team has recovered climatic and environmental histories from ice cores drilled in both Polar Regions and from low to mid-latitud... L...
Climate change is the great environmental challenge facing the world today. But maybe we should start calling it “climates change”. Because scientists who’ve looked to glaciers to study the history of climate on Earth have found that the Northern and Southern hemispheres have not been moving ...
The earth's history is a history of natural change. Parts of the earth that were once under water are now completely dry. There have been periods when large areas of the earth were covered with ice. There have been periods when the earth's climate was much warmer than it is now. There...
