Tristan Duke uses Arctic ice and a unique technique to offer a fresh perspective on a world transformed by climate change.

Transitions between glacial and interglacial periods matched up with small variations in the shape of the Earth's orbit of the sun — how the Earth ‘wobbles' in space — and the angle of the planet's ...

Those ridges are called end moraines and were formed during the Wisconsin glacial episode, popularly known as the last Ice Age. As the glaciers began retreating some 20,000 to 25,000 years ago the ...
