A less severe cold period or ice age is shown during the Jurassic-Cretaceous (150 Ma). There have been five or six major ice ages in the history of Earth over the past 3 billion years. The Late Cenozoic Ice Age began 34 million years ago, its latest phase being the Quaternary glaciation, in progress since 2.58 million years ago.
Regardless, the ice core could contain evidence as to why the shift in the length of ice age periods occurred. The team lived, slept, ate and worked 24 hours a day in shifts in the heated drilling ...
Air bubbles and particles trapped inside the ice could also reveal why the planet’s ice ages suddenly became longer and more intense about 1 million years ago, which may have caused ancient ...

By Dina Spector Gary, Ind., was once the center of American steel production. Movie theaters, department stores and restaurants were part of the fabric of a bustling industrial city. Now Gary is a ...
Shows the pattern of temperature and ice volume changes associated with recent glacials and interglacials. An interglacial period (or alternatively interglacial, interglaciation) is a geological interval of warmer global average temperature lasting thousands of years that separates consecutive glacial periods within an ice age.
“You do things in life for other people, and you try to have fun, and like Gary said, you’ve got to laugh.” Watson, Player and Nicklaus (left to right) drew huge crowds. - Mike Blake/Reuters
