Coloe Fossae was shaped by powerful tectonics, which stretched and cracked Mars's crust, causing chunks of ground to collapse ...

Earth’s climate has never been static. It shifts between warm interglacial periods and deep freezes, driven by complex interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, and even Earth’s orbit around the ...

Approximately 700,000 years ago, a 'warm ice age' permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. During this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded. A research team ...

On its own, Earth would shift toward another ice age in about 10,000 years, scientists say. But humanity's greenhouse gas emissions may have radically shifted the climate's trajectory. Credit: Matt ...

Research led by Professor Valentina Zharkova has raised alarm with predictions that solar activity could fall by as much as ...

Recent high-resolution imaging of Mars has unveiled deep ‘scratches’ and craters that suggest the Red Planet once experienced ...

What can craters on Mars teach scientists about the Red Planet’s climate history? This is what a recent study published in Geology hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated ice buildup ...

Cosmic dust can tell scientists about how ice covered Earth during the last ice age. This dust is leftover debris from ...

Glaciers are thought to change at, well, a glacial pace. Certainly that has been true throughout the planet’s history. The current ice age — known as the Pilocene-Quatenary glaciation, which began 2.6 ...

Approximately 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” permanently changed the climate cycles on Earth. Contemporaneous with this exceptionally warm and moist period, the polar glaciers greatly expanded. A ...
