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 ...

Based on the orbital parameters, if humans had not altered the climate so dramatically, the next ice age would be in about 10 ...

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and warm interglacial periods. A new study has uncovered a clear, predictable ...

It means future work that includes data from the post-industrial period will likely push back the timing of the next ice age.

The cold periods - or ice ages - are times when the entire Earth experiences notably colder climatic conditions. During an ice age, the polar regions are cold, there are large differences in ...

A researcher with UW collaborated on the project to come up with the most precise predictive Ice Age model to date.

With centuries’ old primary source documents, a team of researchers in Romania are exploring how a region best known for vampire legends was drastically altered by the effects of the Little Ice Age.

The period continues to shape variations in sea level along the ... percent – of the observed vertical land motion is due to ongoing effects from the last ice age. “This ice age effect is the largest ...

A group of scientists think they can now predict when the next ice age could grip Earth, but don't worry, it's not for a very long time. An ice age should begin in about 10,000 years, but its ...
