Many people know that Earth has gone through several ice ages in the past. These were long periods when big parts of the ...

The researchers unearthed 427 artefacts, including stone tools and the first ochre pieces- the red-coloured rock used in ...

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 ...

Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...

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

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

Based on the orbital parameters, if humans had not altered the climate so dramatically, the next ice age would be in about 10,000 years. "And because we are now living in an interglacial period – ...

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 ...

The Museum of Natural History’s Sidney Horenstein noted New York, at least, has risen roughly 150 feet following the retreat of the ice and the loss of its immense weight. The Earth’s crust still ...

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 ...

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 ...

Isotope: Any of the forms of a chemical element with the same atomic number but differing atomic mass Stadial: A period of lower temperatures during the last Ice Age Interstadial: A period of ...
