Climate scientists thought stronger atmospheric rivers would accelerate Greenland's ice loss—but it might actually be slowing ...

Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...

Earth emerged from the last ice age around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests the next one could be expected in 10,000 ...

Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.

During the summer of 2024, rapid melting at Norway's Lendbreen glacier led to a series of remarkable archaeological ...

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 ...

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

Greenland's ice sheet has been losing a staggering amount of ice at an accelerating rate. A tipping point could come by the ...

The north pole of Mars is slowly sinking under the weight of an ice cap that only formed within the past few million years. And, in the process, it's telling us something about what the planet's ...
