Throughout Earth’s long and dynamic history, the climate has shifted dramatically. Ice ages have come and gone, shaping the planet and leaving scientists and historians alike wondering about their ...

How does Mars influence Earth’s climate cycles? This is what a recent study published in the Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific hopes to address as a trio of researchers from the ...

A new study by UC Davis and Chinese researchers shows how extraterrestrial forces move Earth's climate into a glacial phase both over the last 34 million years and 300 million years. Recent rapid ...

Mars' distant orbit may have more of an impact on our planet than we first thought. The interaction between Earth and Mars's gravitational influences may be linked to a 2.4-million-year cycle of ocean ...

Beginning around 2.5 million years ago, Earth entered an era marked by successive ice ages and interglacial periods, emerging from the last glaciation around 11,700 years ago. A new analysis suggests ...
