Unveiling the Ancient World: Exploring Biomes During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a significant climatic event that occurred approximately 56 million years ago during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs. It is considered one of the most extreme global warming events in Earth’s history. The PETM was characterized by a rapid increase in global temperatures and significant changes in Earth’s ecosystems, including

The Evolving Radiative Impact: Unraveling the Long-Term Effects of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on Earth’s Radiation Balance
Climate & Climate ZonesThe Greenhouse Effect and Radiative Forcing The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps regulate Earth’s temperature by trapping some of the sun’s energy in the atmosphere. However, human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, have significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. These GHGs, including carbon dioxide (CO2),
