What is the impact of climate change on the ice-covered regions of Earth? How does deglaciation affect global sea level changes? These questions are being addressed by scientists from Germany and ...

For much of the twentieth century, scientists expected the expanding universe to slow over time. The opposite turned out to ...

Gravity measurements have evolved into a pivotal tool for probing Earth’s internal processes and environmental changes. Through highly precise instruments and innovative data analysis, researchers can ...

Abstract: We now have more than 27 years of satellite altimeter measurements of sea level change (TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, 2, and 3) and 17 years of satellite gravity measurements of mass change ...

Greenland is cold and hot. It's a deep freezer storing 10 percent of Earth's ice and a subject of fevered debate. If something should melt all that ice, global sea level could rise as much as 7 meters ...

Physicists in the US have devised a new way of making very precise measurements of gravity by bouncing atoms up and down off a laser beam. Unlike comparable techniques that involve dropping atoms ...

You might expect that, all these years after Newton, we might have a good measure of his gravitational constant, G. As the authors of a new paper on the topic note, there are plenty of reasons to want ...
