University of Nebraska–Lincoln's S. Kathleen Lyons is providing a new framework—Earth system engineering—for examining how organisms, including humans, have fundamentally altered ecosystems on a ...

Machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) techniques have advanced considerably across many domains and applications in recent years, and the field of Earth system science is increasingly ...

Over the past three decades, computer models of planetary system formation have gone from fairly crude representations to ...

When people think about the most important ingredient for life on other planets, they usually talk about water. But there’s another element that makes our existence possible. “We’re carbon-based life ...

Back in 2015, NASA’s Kepler mission spotted a planet that looked remarkably close to our own, a world now known as Kepler ...

Tipping elements of the Earth system should be considered global commons, researchers argue. Global commons cannot -- as they currently do -- only include the parts of the planet outside of national ...

In a white paper published by a multidisciplinary team of top scientists in China, Earth system is defined to encompass both internal and external geospheres from solid Earth system through surface ...

WASHINGTON — NASA is revamping a major series of Earth science missions, delaying some and relying more on international partners for others to reduce costs. As part of NASA’s fiscal year 2025 budget ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...

The National Academies will hold a workshop on the opportunities and challenges, including the ethical development and use, of using machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI) to advance ...
