The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...

Even though "glacial" is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that glaciers speed up and slow down on a daily—even hourly—basis in response to ...
