Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...
Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...
The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades. View on ...
The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that began during around 1300 CE and lasted until about 1850. Average temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere dropped by about 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit ...
For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...
The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...
Based on the orbital parameters, if humans had not altered the climate so dramatically, the next ice age would be in about 10 ...
Earth emerged from the last ice age around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests the next one could be expected in 10,000 ...
When European diseases wiped out up to 90% of the Americas' population, abandoned farmland was swallowed by forests—pulling enough carbon from the air to help plunge the planet into a centuries-long ...
It means future work that includes data from the post-industrial period will likely push back the timing of the next ice age.
In the 19th century, archaeologists in Poland discovered a cave that had sheltered prehistoric people known as the Magdalenians around 18,000 years ago. Magdalenian culture is well known for its ...
Despite decades of research, precisely how the various parts of the solar insolation cycles affect glacial cycles is not ...
