In past ice ages, the intensity of summer insolation affected the emergence of warm and cold periods and played an important role in triggering abrupt climate changes, a study by climate researchers, geoscientists, and environmental physicists suggests.

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Aug 01, 2023 - A comprehensive research endeavor led by Heidelberg University and the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences Potsdam has shed new light on the causes of abrupt climate changes in ice ages. The

The University of Cambridge's Cavendish Laboratory found that Pacific coastal areas of Peru and northern Chile are experiencing what is called greening.

A multinational study team led by environmental physicist Prof. Dr André Butz of Heidelberg University discovered that end-of-dry-season CO2 pulses reoccur each year in the atmosphere over the Australian continent.

Rocket launches emit both gases and particles harmful to the ozone layer.

The ozone layer, which protects life on Earth from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, was severely damaged in the 1980s and 1990s due to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) - chemicals used in aerosols and refrigeration. Thanks to coordinated global action and legislation, the ozone layer is now on track to heal this century.

The ozone layer is on track to heal within four decades, which can be undone by an upsurge in rocket launches
