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

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

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

A researcher with UW collaborated on the project to come up with the most precise predictive Ice Age model to date.

For millions of years, Earth's climate has been driven by natural cycles linked to its orbit, shifting between ice ages and ...

Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation ...

The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that began during around 1300 CE and lasted until about 1850. Average temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere dropped by about 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit ...

At the same time, it is so clear that the team was even able to determine that the next ice age should actually begin in 10,000 years – were it not for man-made climate change. It has long been ...

According to Barker, the key breakthrough came from analyzing the "shape" of the ancient climate record -- the curves showing ...

Periods of rapid climate variability that occurred throughout the last Ice Age, during which time climate alternated between cold stadial conditions and relatively mild interstadial periods Proxy ...
