One day in the next couple of years, everyone in the world will lose a second of their time. Exactly when that will happen is being influenced by humans, according to a new study, as melting polar ice ...

"We cannot negotiate with the melting point of ice." That's the message from more than 50 leading scientists who study ...

Depending on how you look at it, this catchphrase from a 1980s pop song is decently accurate: you can actually melt the ...

Climate change is causing so much polar ice melt that it’s slowing down Earth’s rotation and — here’s the kicker — it will alter how we measure time in the future. That’s the outrageous conclusion ...

Global warming has slightly slowed the Earth’s rotation — and it could affect how we measure time. A study published Wednesday found that the melting of polar ice — an accelerating trend driven ...

Could Earth have had an even more violent infancy than previously imagined? New isotope data suggest that the Earth not only had a very violent beginning but also point to new information about our ...

As the polar ice caps melt, the Earth actually slows down, California scientists say. Less ice at the Earth's poles and more water weight spread around to other places are leading to the planet ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...

Earth's deep mantle stored enough water in rocks to equal one ocean during our planet's early molten days, helping explain ...

Earth’s deep interior still shapes the world above your feet. Water trapped far below the surface helps control how rocks ...

We’ve all heard the tragic stories of glaciers in peril: pieces of ice, the size of continents, breaking off Antarctica or melting away in the Arctic Ocean near the North Pole, leaving polar bears ...
