Earth’s ice age cycles with orbital shifts
“We were amazed to find such a clear imprint of the different orbital parameters on the climate record,” added lead author Stephen Barker, a professor at Cardiff University, in the UK. “It is quite hard to believe that the pattern has not been seen before.” Scientists match Earth’s ice age cycles with orbital shifts Not …
