Climate can change fast, even when the planet looks stable. Earth has flipped into new patterns within decades in the past.

Abrupt climate shifts are well documented in Earth's history and are commonly associated with ice-sheet dynamics during past ice ages. However, how similar millennial-scale climate variability could ...

Researchers find that shifts in Earth’s orbit can trigger abrupt climate changes, even in warm periods without ice sheets.

A revolutionary new study led by Technical University of Munich and University of Bonn scientists has succeeded in measuring the subtle wobble of the Earth’s axis without using complex radio astronomy ...
