Something may be stirring in the world’s largest oceanic current. New research suggests that this vast conveyor belt of cold water around the South Pole could shift its location over the coming ...

Between 1993 and 2010, the tilt of the Earth shifted by 31.5 inches, corresponding with people’s worldwide withdrawals of underground water. Researchers published the findings in June in the journal ...

Ancient Homo sapiens may have benefited from sunscreen, tailored clothes and the use of caves during the shifting of the magnetic North Pole over Europe about 41,000 years ago, new University of ...

New research shows that persistently pumping groundwater has shifted Earth's axis. The reason is that we're moving all that water mass from under the continents to the oceans. Most groundwater ends up ...

Generated by a vast subterranean sea of molten iron acting like a dynamo in the Earth's outer core, the magnetic field that surrounds the planet protects its surface and everything on it from solar ...

Humans have pumped so much groundwater out of the Earth that we have shifted the Earth's rotational pole, according to a study. In a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, ...

Scientists made these observations using data from the European Space Agency’s Swarm mission, which relies on three identical ...

The Earth's magnetic North Pole is currently moving toward Russia in a way that British scientists have not seen before. Scientists have been tracking the magnetic North Pole for centuries, telling ...

Over the past two centuries, the construction of thousands of dams has done more than just tame rivers – it has shifted the Earth’s North Pole about a meter from its original position. By storing ...

In recent years, the magnetic North Pole has shifted from Canada to Siberia. A team of British researchers believes they have ...

Runoff from irrigation has moved so much water from land to sea that Earth’s rotation might have measurably shifted. Computer simulations suggest that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone nudged ...
