Scientists found that sea levels rose rapidly 11,700 years ago due to melting ice sheets and sudden lake drainage.

Changes in Earth's tilt relative to the sun have governed the movements of giant ice sheets over the past 800,000 years, triggering the start and end of eight ice ages, new research suggests. The new ...

"Such a transition to a glacial state in 10,000 years' time is very unlikely to happen, because human emissions of carbon ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

The Radcliffe Wave is a massive, undulating structure filled with dense clouds of gas and dust, stretching across several ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Earth's ice age cycles over the past million years align with small changes in its orbit, tilt, and wobble. These orbital variations predictably influence ...

Research Reveals How Earth Got Its Ice Caps Feb. 14 ... team has gained new insights into the burial rituals of Late Ice Age societies in Central Europe. Signs of human remains from the Maszycka ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to ...
