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

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 – ...

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 ...

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

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