The ten warmest years since the early days of the industrial revolution have all occurred since 2015. Read more here.

Fusulines thrived in cold seas but vanished twice when warming from volcanoes rapidly spiked ocean carbon levels.

Milankovitch cycles are long-term variations in Earth’s orbit and tilt that have a profound impact on our planet’s climate over tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. These ...

(via PBS Terra) Is global warming just part of Earth’s natural cycle? In this episode of Weathered, we break down why that’s not the full story. From ice ages and Milankovitch cycles to the role of ...

The three elements of Milankovitch cycles are eccentricity, obliquity, and precession (Figure 3). Eccentricity describes the degree of variation of the Earth's orbit around the Sun from circular ...

Orbital variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, influence global climate over tens to hundreds of thousands of years. As climate shifts, the type and amount of material deposited in oceans and ...

The Milankovitch cycles are all caused by the combined gravitational effects of the sun, Jupiter and to a lesser extent the other planets acting on Earth. That the Milankovitch cycles cause ...

Those natural cycles are caused by changes in three properties of Earth and its orbit around the sun. Together, they are referred to as Milankovitch cycles, after the early 20th century Serbian ...

Known as “ Milankovitch cycles ”, these patterns occur with periods of 405,000, 100,000, 41,000 and 23,000 years. Geologists have found traces of them throughout Earth's deep past, even in 2.5 ...

Milankovitch cycles and ice ages Most of the natural cycles we know are determined one way or another by Earth's movement around the Sun. As the German astronomer Johannes Kepler first realised four ...

Decades ago, scientists confirmed that larger planets like Jupiter and Saturn can tug on Earth's orbit, causing it to become more eccentric in what is known as a Milankovitch cycle.
