An Austrian site occupied by humans from around 24,000 to 20,000 years ago documents a switch towards hunting reindeer for ...

Without human-induced climate change, Earth may have been on track to plunge into another glacial period within 11,000 years.

A team at the University of Arizona has proposed a mechanism that not only explains the rapid ice growth during the last glacial period but could also apply to earlier cycles. The study ...

An alternative hypothesis to explain the D-O cycles of the last glacial period has to do with large-scale changes in wind patterns over the North Atlantic (Romanova et al. 2006, Wunsch 2006).

Some of the largest floods in earth history drained through the Columbia River during Pleistocene glacial periods (Baker, 2009). These events are known as the Missoula Floods or the Scabland Floods.

Low atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations during glacial periods must have been accompanied by changes in surface-ocean carbonate chemistry. But it is unclear whether concurrent changes in the ...

As an ice sheet thousands of feet thick began its final crawling retreat from North America to the Arctic toward the end of the last glacial period some 10,000 years ago, it left behind the planet ...
