Samples drilled from deep beneath the sea have revealed just how much global sea levels changed following the last ice age.

New geological data has given more insight into the rate and magnitude of global sea level rise following the last ice age, ...

A new study published in Nature provides key insights into sea level rise after the last ice age, around 11,700 years ago.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

On decadal timescales, the loss of Arctic ice favors the climate of the south-west of the United States -- and California in particular -- becoming drier on average, especially in winter.

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published Thursday in Science ...

Even when it makes absolutely no sense some will try to convince the public that having to survive literally thousands of years of deeply hostile conditions somehow is justified because that would ...

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 ...

How does this change our understanding of the Iron Age? Though iron artifacts have been unearthed at 27 locations in eight Indian states, the new discoveries in Tamil Nadu push India's iron-making ...
