In recent geological history, the so-called Quaternary period, there have been repeated ice ages and warm periods. Researchers are able to determine past climate variability from the composition of ...

Climate changes usually happen over long periods of time, but during the last glacial period, extreme fluctuations in temperature occurred within just a few years. Researchers at the University of ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...

As the climate warms, there is major concern that Earth's ocean will lose oxygen. A study has revealed that locked in ancient deep-sea sediments is evidence for oxygen loss in the world's ocean during ...

Geologists have developed many theories to account for the ebb and flow of glaciers in Europe and North America. Some blame external causes, such as interstellar dust or changes in the earth’s ...

Glacier retreat across Alaska could expand the state’s glacial lakes to more than four times their current area, according to ...
