Instead, the most prolific period of glacial earthquakes at Thwaites, between 2018 and 2020, coincides with a period of accelerated flow of the glacier’s ice tongue towards the sea. The ice-tongue ...

In recent geological history, the so-called Quaternary period, there have been repeated ice ages and warm periods. Researchers are able to determine past climate variability from the composition of ...

The Last Glacial Period was characterised by dramatic shifts in climate and ocean circulation that have deeply influenced global carbon cycles and climate variability. Evidence from sediment cores, ...

PERTH, Australia — Long before humans walked the Earth, ice reshaped our planet in dramatic ways. During the Neoproterozoic ...

Glacial earthquakes are rocking the Doomsday Glacier in Antarctica. Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake ...

Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are increasing ...

Proxy data – indirect records of the Earth’s climate found in unlikely places like coral, pollen, trees, and sediments – show interesting oscillations approximately every 100,000 years starting about ...

A fossilized tooth recovered from the Galería site in the Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) confirms that reindeer (Rangifer) inhabited this area of the Iberian Peninsula between 243,000 and 300,000 ...
