A PhD student from the University of Sydney has created a new method to uncover hidden records of Earth's past climate by using advanced scanning technology on ancient coral fossils. In collaboration ...

Ancient coral fossils from the remote Seychelles islands have unveiled a dramatic warning for our future—sea levels can rise in sudden, sharp bursts even when global temperatures stay steady. Coastal ...

A groundbreaking study of 7,000-year-old exposed coral reef fossils reveals how human fishing has transformed Caribbean reef food webs: As sharks declined by 75 percent and fish preferred by humans ...

What can fossils teach scientists about the climate on ancient Earth? This is what a recent study published in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems hopes to address as a team of scientists ...

For millions of years, an ancient coral reef has been buried underneath the Australian outback. New fossil discoveries could unravel its mysteries.

In the 20th century, global sea level rose faster than at any other time in the past 3,000 years. It’s expected to rise even further by 2100, as human-induced climate change intensifies. In fact, some ...
