When we talk about climate change, we tend to focus on its more tangible effects: extreme heat, ocean warming, melting glaciers, and so on. But anywhere from 500 meters to a few kilometers beneath our ...

By trapping huge amounts of water on land, big dams built by humans have slightly changed how Earth spins and where its poles ...

Polar ice melt driven by climate change is affecting Earth's rotation, according to new research. We may have to adjust timekeeping by "skipping" a second in 2029. A human-driven change in the Earth's ...

The Earth has tilted 31.5 inches and its all a result of human activity. The way the planet rotates has been fundamentally changed by the process of pumping groundwater, and it is having a far bigger ...

Hydrologists predict human-induced underground fluid fluxes to rise with climate change mitigation strategies like carbon sequestration. The impact of human activities -- such as greenhouse gas ...

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...

BERLIN, Sept 13 (Reuters) - The Earth's life-support systems are facing greater risks and uncertainties than ever before, with most major safety limits already crossed as a result of planet-wide human ...
