A recent discovery made in Germany by researchers from the Dutch Leiden University and the German Johannes Gutenberg University that will change our perception of history and Neanderthals completely.

The Last interglacial period was the last warm period before our present Holocene age and dates back some 129,000 to 116,000 years ago. It is more and more in the focus of research interest, as ...

Warmer, interglacial periods are associated with the Northern Hemisphere summer seeing peak exposure to sunlight. The actual difference in energy terms is quite small, but feedbacks enhance the ...

Course description: Investigates major problems in the study and understanding of Quaternary climate variation, in seminar format. Each year one major topic will be addressed, such as: the physics and ...

We’re just sticking a toe into the climatic realm of the previous interglacial period, not living in it—yet.

A team of archaeologists has announced a major finding relating to the Neanderthals. They announced the finding in the ...

Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.

It's known as an interglacial period, or a time between ice ages. The current period should be a stable interglacial, which means the next ice age would begin in about 10,000 years, the ...

But he could not trigger a super-interglacial in his simulations. He turned to sediment records from Antarctica for further clues.
