Abrupt climate shifts are well documented in Earth's history and are commonly associated with ice-sheet dynamics during past ice ages. However, how similar millennial-scale climate variability could ...
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of these parameters' cycles and clues hidden at the bottom of the ocean.
Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.
A new study from China University explores how millennial-scale climate variability, traditionally linked to ice-sheet dynamics, occurred during warm greenhouse house periods when ice sheets were ...
