May 16, 2023 Approximately 700,000 years ago, a 'warm ice age' permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. During this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded. A ...
May 26, 2022 Scientists have finally put to bed a long-standing question over the role of Earth's orbit in driving global ice age ...
May 9, 2022 Ice shelves are floating extensions of glaciers. If Greenland's second largest ice shelf breaks up, it may not recover unless Earth's future climate cools ...
Dec. 6, 2022 A chance find of an unstudied Antarctic sediment core has led researchers to flip our understanding of how often ice ages occurred in ...
Mar. 14, 2022 As a result of global warming in the 21st century, the Greenland ice sheet may contribute several meters to sea-level rise in the centuries to come; however, effective climate change mitigation ...
Feb. 14, 2023 A study shows that an irreversible loss of the ice sheets, and a corresponding acceleration of sea level rise, may be imminent if global temperature cannot be stabilized below 1.8 degrees ...
Jan. 25, 2023 What drives crocodile evolution? Is climate a major factor or changes in sea levels? Determined to find answers to these questions, researchers discovered that while changing temperatures and ...
July 31, 2023 In past ice ages, the intensity of summer insolation affected the emergence of warm and cold periods and played an important role in triggering abrupt climate changes, a study by climate researchers, ...
Apr. 21, 2022 When a large ice sheet begins to melt, global-mean sea level rises, but local sea level near the ice sheet may in fact drop. A researcher illustrates this effect through a series of calculations, ...
June 3, 2021 Glaciologists analyzed Antarctic ice cores to understand the continent's air temperatures during the most recent glacial period. The results help understand how the region behaves during a major ...
