Ancient North American droughts were driven by Earth’s orbital shifts, study from the University of Helsinki finds.

Smith College professors Allen Curran and Brian White have documented a sea-level change resulting from a "little ice age," which occurred during an interglacial period in the Pleistocene Period.

We are currently in an interglacial period that began around 12,000 years ago as ice sheets retreated and greenhouse gases rose. That means we have to look farther back to find a time that might ...
