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

Scientists have predicted future glacial periods by matching Earth's past ice ages to its orbit around the sun. But their new ...

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 ...

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

Find out what scientists say about the Next Ice Age and the natural rhythms shaping our planet's climate over millennia.

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...

Research links Earth's axial tilt to past ice ages, showing human-driven warming may prevent future glaciations.

The research, published Thursday, February 27, in the journal Science, found a strong connection between Earth’s axial tilt ...

Woolly mammoths once roamed icy landscapes before going extinct around 4,000 years ago. Now, US biotech firm Colossal ...

From woolly rhinos to wolves, brown bears to bison, many Ice Age animals have been recovered from the world’s permafrost. Apart from being slightly crushed and maybe a little bit nibbled, very often ...

Based on these findings, researchers estimated that the next ice age would be well underway in 11,000 years — were it not for human-driven global warming. "The prediction is that the next ice ...
