Earth's slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by researchers from China, Belgium, and Austria shows that these orbital motions can ...

Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.
Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Earth is currently in what climatologists call an interglacial period, a warm pulse between long, cold ice ages when glaciers dominate our planet's higher ...

Mars may actually trigger Earth’s ice ages from millions of miles away
Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is ...
Earth is closer to the sun at some times of year than at others, with the time of closest approach shifting over a period of 22,000 years. This affects Earth's climate, including ice ages, but a team ...

New research shows how sea ice growth in the Southern Hemisphere during certain orbital periods could control the pace of ice ages on Earth. Earth is currently in what climatologists call an ...
