Study Reveals How Earth's Orbit Triggers Ice Ages, And There's One in The Next 11,000 Years
Earth's history is a roller-coaster of climate fluctuations, of relative warmth giving way to frozen periods of glaciation before rising up again to the more temperate climes we experience today.

The distinct role of Earth’s orbit in 100-thousand-year glacial cycles
The findings highlight the roles of precession, obliquity, and eccentricity – factors influencing the tilt and movement of Earth's axis, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun – in ...

Scientists match Earth's ice age cycles with orbital shifts
One type of change in Earth's orbit was responsible for the end of ... Distinct roles for precession, obliquity and eccentricity in Pleistocene 100kyr glacial cycles, Science (2025).

Our next ice age is due in 10,000 years, but there's a catch
then compared this data to the Earth's oval-shaped orbit around the sun, a phenomenon called orbital eccentricity. The authors found each glaciation period in the last 900,000 years followed a ...

Next Ice Age Should Be 10,000 Years Away – But Humans May Disrupt That
The subtle changes in orbit (eccentricity), the planet’s inclination compared to the orbit (obliquity), and the change in the direction of Earth’s rotational axis (precession) were possible ...

Our next ice age is due in 10,000 years, but there’s a catch
Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the researchers say record rates of fossil fuel burning that are increasing ...

Earth’s Next Ice Age Might Already Be on the Way—Here’s What Scientists Just Discovered
The key cycles include: ・Eccentricity (100,000- and 400,000-year cycles): Earth’s orbit shifts from more circular to more elliptical, altering the intensity of seasons. ・Obliquity (40,000 ...
