Unlocking the secrets of Snowball Earth

Approximately 720 million years ago, Earth is hypothesised to have been gripped by a planetary-scale glaciation, with ice spanning almost from the poles to the equator. This phenomenon, known as a Snowball Earth interval, took place during the Cryogenian period (circa 720 – 635 million years ago, Ma). The planetary-scale freeze is thought to have […]
