Around 10,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, may have temporarily sped up—with a little help ...

In a fascinating find beneath the waves of the Barents Sea, researchers have discovered anunderwater mud volcano dating back ...

A typical ice age lasting 100,000 years can be characterised into periods of advancing and retreating ice -- the ice grows for 80,000 years, but it only takes 20,000 years for that ice to melt.

Researchers have estimated that sea-level rose by an average of about 1 meter per century at the end of the last Ice Age, interrupted by rapid "jumps" during which it rose by up to 2.5 meters per ...

Nearly 10,000 years ago, Earth came out of its most recent ice age. Vast, icy swaths of land around the poles thawed, melting the glaciers that had covered them for nearly 100,000 years. Why ...
