Over 700 million years ago, Earth experienced a dramatic climate event known as the Sturtian glaciation, one of the most ...

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

Ever since the Pre-Cambrian (600 million years ago), ice ages have occurred at widely spaced intervals of geologic time - approximately 200 million years - lasting for millions, or even tens of ...

Deep within Earth’s geological record lie the fingerprints of dozens of ice ages – long periods when massive ice sheets ...

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

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 ...

Since the Ice Age drastically changed the Aotearoa landscape ... very typical of New Zealand's biological heritage throughout geological history," Dr. Lubbe says. "Many of our most iconic endemic ...

Researchers are studying the routes that icebergs followed during geological periods of rapid ice cap deterioration, such as the ends of ice ages. That provides crucial information about the ...

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 ...
