When the planet was heating up at the end of the last Ice Age, ice-melt flooded out by glaciers made oceans rise. Scientists for decades believed that most meltwater had originated from Antarctica.

The story of how the last Ice Age ended is being rewritten from the bottom up, as new records etched into the sea floor reveal a far more dynamic and interconnected climate system than the traditional ...

Melting ice sheets in North America played a far greater role in driving global sea-level rise at the end of the last ice age than scientists had thought, according to a Tulane University-led study ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ocean currents and affects temperatures in places far from the poles. But ...
