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, ...

Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new model doesn’t account for how human-made carbon emissions could change ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research on historical sea-level rise will give scientists new knowledge into how global warming will affect the earth’s ...

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

Feb. 18, 2025 — New esearch shows Aotearoa has been increasingly accepting new bird species from around the world since the start of the Ice Age, offering clues into future migration ...

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 ...

Between 18,000 and 11,000 years ago, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere suddenly shot up. This caused rapid global warming, the mass melting of glaciers, and the end of the last ice age.
