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 ...

Understanding the increase in ice storms across the United States is essential for weather enthusiasts and residents alike.

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests ...

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

Research links Earth's axial tilt to past ice ages, showing human-driven warming may prevent future glaciations.

A standard small ice maker is able to produce around 26 pounds of ice within a 24-hour period, but they can only store about ...

It has been assumed that changes in the Earth's orbit around the sun are responsible for the ice age cycles. It is now clear how this works. An international research team may have discovered ...

When temperatures rose the next day, any ice dissolved, leaving behind cracks in the concrete and making it unstable. “Recent freeze-thaw cycles caused the concrete to become saturated ...

Global sea ice hit a record low for February, with Arctic and Antarctic ice levels far below average. Rising global ...

The study tracks the natural cycles of the planet's climate over a ... which documents changes in the size of land-based ice sheets across the Northern hemisphere together with the temperature ...
