Future studies may also help scientists and governments plan for adaptations. Scientists flabbergasted after observing major ...

According to NASA scientists, the huge amount of water held back by the dam has shifted the distribution of Earth’s mass.

The day has become 0.06 microseconds longer, and the Earth's axis has shifted by about 2 cm due to the Chinese Three Gorges ...

Captured during Expedition 19, NASA’s satellite photos show how the Three Gorges Dam subtly changes Earth’s rotation and axis ...

The most serious consequences of this are for agriculture and ecosystems that depend on soil moisture, but it’s also changing ...

Historian and cartographer Anthony Acciavatti is Diana Balmori Assistant Professor at the Yale School of Architecture.

As climate change melts ice sheets and glaciers, water is being redistributed across the globe — and could end up moving the point of Earth's axis of rotation.

As the polar ice sheets melt faster in the warming climate, Earth's mass is redistributed, slightly shifting our planet's axis of rotation. Although these changes might be small on the planetary ...

While Earth's slowdown is not noticeable on human timescales, it's enough to work significant changes over eons. One of those ...

Rising global temperatures are driving the sharp decline in terrestrial water storage. This trend isn’t likely to change, scientists say.

June and July are the months when the Northern Hemisphere receives the most sunlight due to the Earth's tilt on its axis.

According to a report in Science, researchers have determined that water on land, which includes soil moisture levels, underground aquifers, lakes, rivers and other water-holding surfaces, has been ...
