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

But for centuries, scientists have struggled to pinpoint exactly why these shifts occur and when the next ice age might begin. Now, a new study published in Science has unraveled the mystery ...

Earth naturally cycles between ice ages and warm periods based on three astronomical cycles: precession (Earth’s wobble), ...

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 ...

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 ...

which stretched from the British Isles to the Arctic seas during the last ice age. Such land deformation results from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which describes how Earth’s crust ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) New geological data reveals that global sea levels rose rapidly after the last ice age, with peaks exceeding 1 meter per century during the early Holocene. This ...

The last glacial maximum, which lasted from 26,500 to 19,000 years ago, was the most severe phase of the Late Pleistocene ice age. During this period, massive ice sheets and polar ice caps covered ...
