Glaciers reached Cape Cod, Massachusetts, in the most recent ice age about 20,000 years ago. But much harsher ice ages hit the Earth in an ancient geological interval known as "the Cryogenian Period" ...

Research on the Quaternary glaciation of the Iberian Peninsula reveals a complex record of glacial advances and retreats interwoven with episodes of rapid climate change. Detailed geomorphological and ...

In recent years global warming has left its mark on the Antarctic ice sheets. The 'eternal' ice in Antarctica is melting faster than previously assumed, particularly in West Antarctica more than East ...

The Sturtian Snowball Earth glaciation (717~660 million years ago) represents the most severe icehouse climate in Earth's history. Geological evidence indicates that, during this glaciation, ice ...

Over 700 million years ago, Earth experienced a dramatic climate event known as the Sturtian glaciation, one of the most extreme ice ages in history. During this period, the planet was encased in ice ...

While most people still worry about global warming, I am more concerned about the next Ice Age. A glaciation would present a serious problem for survival of our present civilization, akin to a nuclear ...
