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

Scientists have long known that Earth’s climate goes through cycles of ice ages and warmer periods. Around 2.5 million years ago, the planet entered a phase marked by repeated ice ages, with the most ...

Glaciers once inched toward the sea, gouging rocks. When the ice masses melted, they infused oceans with nutrients that may ...

The scientists used their data to chart where and when plant species emerged or disappeared across Siberia and Alaska.

"Many of them had feathers, [so] they could insulate themselves just like mammals can," Brusatte said. In addition, some ...
