Our planet’s last glacial period (colloquially known as the Ice Age) began around 115,000 years ago and lasted for over 103,000 years of the Pleistocene Epoch. During this time, ...

However, Barker strongly cautioned against interpreting the findings to suggest that human-caused climate change is beneficial. Unfortunately this note is necessary since people will try to push ...

This transition marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch, an era of relative climate ... were responsible for starting and ending these glacial cycles. According to Barker, the key breakthrough ...

This transition marked the beginning of the Holocene epoch, an era of relative climate stability that enabled early human ... they struggled to pinpoint which orbital parameters were responsible for ...

Minerals swept up on land by this “glacial broom” altered marine chemistry and infused oceans with nutrients that they say may have shaped how complex life evolved. This ancient period of deep ...

“Our isotopic analysis showed that this methane is geologic in origin and is released as the glacier retreats and glacial meltwater flushes through fractures in the rock.” Interestingly, the source of ...

To this the author replies that too little is known of the laws of terrestrial radiation of heat through the atmosphere to justify the establishment of any theory of the glacial epoch, and that ...

They found that glacial melt rivers and groundwater springs are transporting large volumes of methane from beneath the ice to the atmosphere. This previously unrecognised process could contribute ...

Gabrielle Kleber and Leonard Magerl, postdoctoral researchers at iC3, have discovered that Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. They found that ...
