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 ...

Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have matched up specific points in those cycles to the timing of ice ages.

Now, new geological data show that sea levels rose about 125 feet (38 meters) between 11,000 and 3,000 years ago, according ...

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

says that the small variations in the Earth's orbit, its wobble and axis angle influence long-term changes in climate, and trigger the beginning and ends of ice ages. In a review of the last ...

"The prediction is that the next ice age will begin within ... when ice sheets retreat toward the poles. Earth is currently in an interglacial period, with the last glacial period having peaked ...

Research Reveals How Earth Got Its Ice Caps Feb. 14 ... What We Can Learn from Plants from the Last Ice Age Feb. 12, 2025 — Global warming is producing a rapid loss of plant species -- according ...

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.

Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

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 new study published last week is giving us ... hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun.

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.
