New findings explain synchronous deglaciation that occurred 17,700 years ago.

A field campaign on the remote Ellef Ringnes Island, Canadian High Arctic, discovered an astounding number of methane seep mounds in Cretaceous age sediments.

A new NASA forecasting model is allowing researchers to make better estimates for how much ice will disappear each year through the melt seasons.

New explanation links competing theories of the origin of Antarctic glaciation and highlights complexity of climate change.

New research shows how sea ice growth in the Southern Hemisphere during certain orbital periods could control the pace of ice ages on Earth.

A new analysis of the temporary slowdown seen in Earth's global average surface temperature warming trend between 1998 and 2013 concludes Earth's ocean absorbed the extra heat.

New research suggests that the release of methane from the seafloor was much slower than previously thought during a rapid global warming event 56 million years ago.

A team of British climate scientists comparing today's environment with the warm period before the last ice age has discovered a 65% reduction of Antarctic sea ice around 128,000 years ago.

The outer boundary would have long ice ages.

The way the ocean transported heat, nutrients and carbon dioxide at the peak of the last ice age is significantly different than what has previously been suggested.
