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 ...

A new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews dates the dramatic collapse of one of the largest glaciers ever ...

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

The footprints of long-gone glaciers and icebergs are now frozen in time in a stunning new collection of images of Earth’s seafloor. The Atlas of Submarine Glacial Landforms is a comprehensive, ...

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 ...

One of the most fundamental insights for understanding how landscapes evolve is based on determining the extent to which topography was shaped by glaciers or by rivers. More than 10 4 years after the ...

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, ...

As the austral summer draws to a close, we are preparing to fly over the Southern Alps to survey glaciers. This annual flight supports the longest scientific study of Aotearoa New Zealand’s icescapes ...

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 ...
