Around 370 million years ago, Earth gradually descended into the longest lived and probably the most intense ice age witnessed by complex life: the Late Paleozoic ice age. At its peak, huge ...

New research suggests Earth’s climate can swing wildly on surprisingly short timescales — even during hot, ice-free ...

After years as a professional research assistant at INSTAAR’s stable isotope lab, Valerie Morris estimates she’s processed more than 10 kilometers of ice from around the world. “You’ve done more ice ...

A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of Earth’s ...

For decades, paleontologists assumed mastodons - the shaggy, elephant-like relatives that once roamed North America - were a relatively uniform species with a broad range. A new study published in ...

Earth may respond to the huge quantities of carbon dioxide (CO 2) that humans are pumping into the atmosphere by "overcorrecting" the imbalance, which could result in the next ice age arriving on time ...

The story of how the last Ice Age ended is being rewritten from the bottom up, as new records etched into the sea floor reveal a far more dynamic and interconnected climate system than the traditional ...
