The Earth has gone through successive glacial and interglacial periods for about 2.5 million years. A new study reveals when ...

Scientists say small changes in the way the Earth orbits the sun hold the key in major global changes in climate, like ice ...

The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...

For many millions of years, our planet has experienced glacial periods followed by warmer periods. A crucial role in these changes might come from the orbital motion of our planet. By studying how our ...

Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests ...

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...

Glacial cycles aren’t random; they follow a predictable rhythm dictated by Earth’s orbit. A study analyzing climate records ...

"For many years, the difficulty in answering how small changes in Earth's orbit around the Sun translate to large shifts between glacial and interglacial states has been a central theme in ...

Scientists have long known that shifts in Earth’s orbit influence transitions between ice ages and warmer interglacial ...
