The researchers unearthed 427 artefacts, including stone tools and the first ochre pieces- the red-coloured rock used in ...

The researchers studied Earth’s orbit, tilt and wobble to solve a problem that had stumped scientists for decades. View on ...

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and warm interglacial periods. A new study has uncovered a clear, predictable ...

Bones dating back 25,000 years suggest that humans lived in extremely icy conditions in Tibet, which were previously thought ...

Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...

Based on the orbital parameters, if humans had not altered the climate so dramatically, the next ice age would be in about 10,000 years. "And because we are now living in an interglacial period – ...

A mammoth tusk was found at a private West Texas ranch, prompting questions like can you own one. A Texas Tech professor answers that, and more.

A group of scientists think they can now predict when the next ice age could grip Earth, but don't worry, it's not for a very long time. An ice age should begin in about 10,000 years, but its ...

When European diseases wiped out up to 90% of the Americas' population, abandoned farmland was swallowed by forests—pulling enough carbon from the air to help plunge the planet into a centuries-long ...

It means future work that includes data from the post-industrial period will likely push back the timing of the next ice age.

The period continues to shape variations in sea level along the ... percent – of the observed vertical land motion is due to ongoing effects from the last ice age. “This ice age effect is the largest ...
