Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.
Earth’s slow axial wobbles—known as precession cycles—do not just shape long-term climate trends. A new study led by ...
Scientists have determined exactly how Earth's orbit and tilt affect glaciation and deglaciation, based on the length of ...
Earth wobbles on its axis like a spinning top, a motion called precession. This wobble takes about 26,000 years to complete one full circle. Different stars have served as the North Star throughout ...
