Scientists Conclude That The Next Ice Age Is Coming In 10,000 Years
Our planet’s last glacial period (colloquially known as the Ice Age) began around 115,000 years ago and lasted for over 103,000 years of the Pleistocene Epoch. During this time, ...

Scientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts
These findings represent a major contribution towards a unified theory of glacial cycles. "And because we are now living in an interglacial period—called the Holocene—we are also able to ...

Ice Sheets and Sea Level in Earth's Past
Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.

Our next ice age is due in 10,000 years, but there's a catch
The authors found each glaciation period in the last 900,000 years followed a predictable pattern. Transitions between glacial and interglacial periods matched up with small variations in the ...

We know the dates of the next ice age ️
The Earth has gone through successive glacial and interglacial periods for about 2.5 million years. A new study reveals when the next ice age could occur, but human impact on the climate could change ...

Next ice age would hit Earth in 11,000 years if it weren't for climate change, scientists say
Glacial periods are separated by warmer interglacial periods, when ice sheets retreat toward the poles. Earth is currently in an interglacial period, with the last glacial period having peaked ...
