New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, ...

New research provides precise estimates, offering the first glimpse into sea level rise during the early Holocene. Read the ...

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

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

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

Our planet’s last glacial period (colloquially known as the Ice Age) began around 115,000 years ago and lasted for over 103,000 years of the Pleistocene Epoch. During this time, ...

New Zealand has seen equally radical shifts in habitat before – during the Ice Age, which lasted 2.6 million years and ended about 12,000 years ago. At its height, parts of the country were up ...

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 ...

emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests the onset of the next ice age could be expected in 10,000 years' time. The findings are published in the journal ...

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 ...

Earth’s last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are increasing ...
