You wouldn't think that small, distant #Mars could have an influence on Earth's #iceages. But scientists at the University of California Riverside are saying that small gravitational tugs from Mars help shape the cycles that drive long-term #climate patterns on #Earth. 🔴🌎🔭

Mars Crater Deposits Show Declining Ice Volumes Over Ages

A Geology study published Sep 2 2025 analyzed sediment layers in Martian impact craters and found ice volumes have steadily declined over successive ice-age cycles spanning hundreds of millions of years. getnews.me/mars-crater-deposits-sho... #mars #iceages

Wolstonian Stage (Glaciology 🗻)

The Wolstonian Stage is a middle Pleistocene stage of the geological history of Earth from approximately 374,000 until 130,000 years ago. It precedes the Last Interglacial and follows the Hoxnian Stage in the British Isles. It is also approximately analogous to […]

Gaskiers glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

The Gaskiers glaciation is a period of widespread glacial deposits that lasted under 340,000 years, between 579.88 ± 0.44 and 579.63 ± 0.15 million years ago — i.e. late in the Ediacaran Period — making it the last major glacial event of the Precambrian. It […]

Don Glaciation (Glaciology 🗻)

The Don Glaciation, also known as the Donian Glaciation and the Donian Stage, was the major glaciation of the East European Plain, 0.8–0.5 million years ago, during the Cromerian Stage of the Middle Pleistocene. It is correlated to Marine Isotope Stage 16 […]
