Scientists already knew that melting glaciers could change the planet’s rotation. But this study shows that groundwater ...

Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers are melting at such a rate it’s changing the way the Earth spins, causing it to wobble off ...

A reanalysis of paleomagnetic poles provides tighter bounds on the style and rate of motions of our whole planet with respect ...

Pumping too much groundwater has shifted Earth’s axis by 80 cm in less than 20 years, showing how human actions can alter the ...

As climate change melts ice sheets and glaciers, water is being redistributed across the globe — and could end up moving the ...

Recent research reveals that in under 20 years, Earth’s tilt has shifted by 31.5 inches as a result of excessive groundwater ...

While Earth is, on average, pretty reliable and takes 86,400 seconds to rotate around its axis, this is not perfect. ”When highly accurate atomic clocks were developed in the 1960s, they showed ...

The reason this worked so well is thanks to Hubble’s consistent, long-term observations. Over more than a decade, the space ...

As ice sheets melt and ocean mass gets redistributed around the planet, Earth's geographic North and South poles could shift up to 89 feet (27 meters) by 2100 as the planet's axis of rotation ...
