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 ...

Developed by CSIRO, the ACCESS Earth System Model 1.5 (ACCESS-EM1.5) has been heavily used by the research community in many areas, both globally and in Australia, as a tool for understanding and ...

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 ...

Research reveals agriculture's surprising role in carbon dioxide fluctuations, driven by nitrogen fertilizer and overlooked ...

A new study has found that agriculture is the primary cause of seasonal carbon cycle swings, the difference between the highest and lowest amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere each year. This ...

The Radcliffe Wave is a massive, undulating structure filled with dense clouds of gas and dust, stretching across several ...

According to an alternative model of how intelligent life emerges on planets like Earth, the existence of aliens—and human ...

The department “Earth System Modelling” investigates the movement and chemical ... global models of the atmosphere and the climate system, in particular the coupled chemistry-climate model EMAC (ECHAM ...

Scientists found that volcanic eruptions triggered short-lived oxygen spikes before Earth's air became breathable.

A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in our galaxy. Using ...
