During the last ice age, the last glacial maximum about 20,000 years ago, the climate in the North Atlantic underwent much greater multi-centennial variability than it does in the present warm period.

A new study published last week is giving us a better idea. The research builds on previous hypotheses theorizing that Ice Ages occur on a predictable timeline that relates to the geometry of Earth’s ...

A new study combines data from ancient shells with advanced climate modeling to shed light on how El Ni o weather patterns might change in a warming world. The last ice age peaked around 20,000 years ...

During Earth's ice ages, much of North America and northern Europe were covered in massive glaciers. About 20,000 years ago, those ice sheets began to melt rapidly, and the resulting water had to go ...

Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic sea level rise of up to 65 feet in just 500 years or less. Despite the scale ...

International team of researchers reveals for the first time a mechanism to explain pronounced climate variability during the last ice age Although humankind is responsible for the current global ...
