How Milankovitch cycles quietly control Earth’s climate
Milankovitch cycles describe slow, predictable changes in Earth’s orbit and tilt that influence long-term climate patterns.
Natural cycles in Earth's rotational axis and its orbit around the sun drive climatic changes, and now researchers have ...
Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Without Mars, Earth’s Ice-Age Rhythm Would Change, Simulations Show
The earth (and humanity) would be very different without our smaller red neighbor. In A Nutshell Computer simulations show that without Mars, a key 2.4-million-year climate cycle that helps pace Earth ...
SANTA CRUZ, CA–About 23 million years ago, a huge ice sheet spread over Antarctica, temporarily reversing a general trend of global warming and decreasing ice volume. Now a team of researchers has ...
