Earth's slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by researchers from China, Belgium, and Austria shows that these orbital motions can ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

Regular readers of my column certainly know how to use the Big Dipper to find the North Star (aka Polaris). Some folks believe Polaris is important because it’s the brightest star in the heavens, and ...

A pattern of encroaching and retreating ice sheets during and between ice ages has been shown to match certain orbital parameters of Earth around the sun, leading to researchers being able to predict ...

The ebb and flow of Pleistocene glacial cycles is not random; it follows a predictable pattern dictated by the distinct and deterministic influence of Earth’s orbital geometry, according to a new ...

Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...
