Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic ...

Now, new geological data show that sea levels rose about 125 feet (38 meters) between 11,000 and 3,000 years ago, according ...

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

The research shows how fast sea level rose about 11,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, the last time Earth warmed as fast as it is warming now. The findings suggest sea level jumped by ...

Glaciers in many regions will not survive the 21st century if they keep melting at the current rate, potentially jeopardising ...

This analysis is the first time anyone has been able to determine which orbital characteristic has the most influence on the start and end of ice ... ago when the last ice age ended.

which stretched from the British Isles to the Arctic seas during the last ice age. Such land deformation results from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which describes how Earth’s crust ...

A new study published in Nature provides key insights into sea level rise after the last ice age, around 11,700 years ago.

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 ...

A recent study has revealed that some ancient humans did not retreat from Central Europe during the last ice age. Instead, they adapted to the harsh conditions, similar to species like brown bears ...

Between 18,000 and 11,000 years ago, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere suddenly shot up. This caused rapid global warming, the mass melting of glaciers, and the end of the last ice age.
