A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to predict ...

If the theory is proven correct, the consequences could be enormous, spelling a much more risky, explosive future.

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit around the ...

Something in the Atlantic is shifting, though it is not easy to see from the surface. There are no dramatic waves or sudden ...

Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests ...

A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of Earth’s ...

Changes in Earth's tilt relative to the sun have governed the movements of giant ice sheets over the past 800,000 years, triggering the start and end of eight ice ages, new research suggests. The new ...

Santa may be looking for a new species to pull his sleigh as climate change is likely to cause declines in reindeer ...

A new study sheds light on how prehistoric hunter-gatherer populations in Europe coped with climate changes over 12,000 years ago. Led by scientists from the University of Cologne, a team of 25 ...

New research finds the disappearance of glaciers in the Sierra Nevada will be unprecedented in the human history of North America. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
