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 climates trajectory. (Santa Barbara, ...

New genetic evidence uncovers repeated waves of dispersal and surprising diversity among North America’s Ice Age giants.

The Earth's next ice age is expected to begin in about 11,000 years -- unless human-caused global warming disrupts natural cycles. That's according to a new study published Thursday in Science, which ...

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 ...

Seven of the most common forest trees in Europe have been shown to be able to shelter their genetic diversity from major shifts in environmental conditions. This is despite their ranges having shrunk ...
