A new study describes a period of rapid global climate change in an ice-capped world much like the present — but 304 million years ago. 

Precipitation more than temperature influenced the distribution of herbivorous dinosaurs in what is now Alaska, according to new research published this month.

To help researchers model climate effects, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation mission will measure the composition of minerals that become airborne dust.

While the ozone loss was not a surprise, the simulations indicated the potential magnitude of the destruction
