First, what is an ice age? It’s when the Earth has cold temperatures for a long time – millions to tens of millions of years – that lead to ice sheets and glaciers covering large areas of its surface.

Ancient volcanoes in the Arctic may have trapped Earth in repeated "Snowball Earth" freezes for 56 million years.

When Alien: Earth debuted its first two episodes, there were certain things to expect. Xenomorphs, commentary on corporate greed, and deeper philosophical questions about artificial intelligence.

The only thing scarier than a Xenomorph is this: One hundred years in the future, we're still watching Ice Age: Continental Drift. Without context, the reference might not make a lick of sense.

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 published in the journal Nature Geoscience by researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea shows that the Antarctic ice sheet became ...

New research suggests Earth’s climate can swing wildly on surprisingly short timescales — even during hot, ice-free ...

Mars is half the size of Earth, with one-tenth of our planet’s mass, and at the nearest point in its orbit is over 33 million miles away. Yet new research highlights the extraordinary influence the ...

A new study suggests Antarctica’s ice sheet hit a climate tipping point about one million years ago, making it far more ...
