Earth's north magnetic pole is on the move, unpredictably lurching away from the Canadian Arctic and toward Siberia. It's wandered so much, that the current representation of the entire globe's magnetic field, just updated in 2015, is now out of date. And so, geologists have come up with a new model. This updated model, called the World Magnetic Model, was supposed to be published Jan. 15, but it's now been delayed to Jan. 30, on account of the government shutdown.

The extravagant splendor of the animal kingdom can’t be explained by natural selection alone — so how did it come to be?

A new study looked at sea, rock, and lake salt sold around the world. Here’s what you need to know.

They live thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface. They eat hydrogen and exhale methane. And they may shape our world more profoundly than we can imagine.

If you follow environmental news, every day it seems like the world is getting worse. One landmark study found that animals are going extinct 1,000 times faster than their natural rate because of human influence and habitat loss.

At last!

Where there is light, organisms will follow.

Throughout Earth’s history, climate has varied greatly. For hundreds of millions of years, the planet had no polar ice caps. Without this ice, the sea level was 70 meters higher. At the other extreme, about 700 million years ago, Earth became almost entirely covered in ice, during an event known as “Snowball Earth.” What causes these swings in the planet’s climate? Lorraine Lisiecki investigates.

A writer comes face-to-face with the cat deep in the Amazon jungle and left with a new understanding of its surprising resilience to poaching and habitat loss. 

It's an ozone mystery, as well as a threat to one of the planet's great environmental success stories.

Those who deny the reality of anthropogenic climate change often point to the fallibility of climate models, calling those who agree with such estimates "alarmists." The bulk of climate research has tended to underplay the real risks of climate change.

Three new reports say governments can either act now on climate, and reap trillions of dollars in benefits – or miss the window and put a wrecking-ball to GDPs.
