Would a dramatic change in the Earth's magnetic field affect creatures that rely on it during migration? Late on a January night in 1993 I found myself on a beach on the Pacific coast of Costa ...

A study by geophysicists from UC Berkeley and their Italian and French colleagues has shed new light on Earth's last ... the links between magnetic reversals and climate change.

suggesting that such an event is directly linked to a dramatic change of the strength of Earth’s magnetic field. “This record reveals a substantial increase in the carbon-14 content of the ...

Such reversals in the Earth's magnetic field, they'd tell you, are, roughly speaking, as common as ice ages. That is, they're terrifically infrequent by human standards, but in geologic terms they ...

While shifting is not a rare occurrence, the pole is moving both faster and differently than it was before, raising questions about the planet's magnetic field. If the Earth's field is disrupted ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. MIT researchers calculated that as global ...

Now, though, a controversial new paper warns that falling space junk could actually weaken Earth’s magnetic field. If that happens, the author of the paper argues that we could see atmospheric ...

Currently, the main focus of research in the Antarctic revolves around climate change because ... (primarily disturbances to the earth's magnetic field caused by solar activity).
