New research shows how sea ice growth in the Southern Hemisphere during certain orbital periods could control the pace of ice ages on Earth. Earth is currently in what climatologists call an ...
The general outlines of the ice ages of the last several million years are pretty well understood. The timing of the glacial cycles has been controlled by cycles in Earth’s orbit, with the temperature ...
Full moon, new moon. High tide, low tide. These are dependable rhythms of our planet. It is not surprising then, that news of a “wobble” in the moon’s orbit — one with implications for the growing ...
Glacial cyclicity of the Earth has often been considered on 100,000 year timescales, particularly for the Late Pleistocene (~11,700 to 129,000 years ago) swapping between periods of extensive polar ...
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Earth is currently in what climatologists call an interglacial period, a warm pulse between long, cold ice ages when glaciers dominate our planet's higher ...
