Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost 1 km of mud in the North Sea. The results suggest that the landforms were produced about 1 million years ago, when an ...

Glacial and periglacial processes are central to shaping Earth's high-latitude and high-altitude landscapes through a complex suite of erosional, depositional and mass-movement mechanisms. Ice masses ...

Hidden rock glaciers in Wyoming are resisting climate warming and could help sustain cold mountain streams for decades to ...

An interactive online map produced by researchers at the University of Sheffield reveals how major cities were affected by the last glacial cycle 22,000 years ago – when a kilometre-thick ice sheet ...

Twenty thousand years ago, the land we live on now was under the leading edge of the last glacier of the last Ice Age. It takes effort today to imagine those hundreds of feet of ice over our heads, ...

The landform known as a drumlin, created when the ice advanced during the Ice Age, can also be produced by today's glaciers. This discovery, made by researchers from the University of Gothenburg, ...

MISSOULA, Mont. — A University of Montana Western professor recently published a paper thatchallenge previous assumptions about glacier retreat timing. Dr. Spruce W. Schoenemann's paper focuses on ...

An international team of researchers, including a glaciologist at Newcastle University, UK, has discovered remarkably well-preserved glacial landforms buried almost 1 km beneath the North Sea. This is ...
