Tiksi area in eastern Siberia has generally been believed to have remained ice-free throughout the entire Ice Age. However, new glacial geomorphological research in the region has revealed evidence of ...

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, ...

An international team of scientists unveiled exceptionally well-preserved glacial landforms buried nearly one kilometer ...

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. The ...

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, ...

Drumlins are a ubiquitous landform in lands once overrun by glaciers, and yet after two centuries of studying them, we still aren’t certain how these teardrop-shaped hills form. Top image: A drumlin ...

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the previous 41,000-year cycle. Scientists have now discovered landforms created ...

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 ...

Landforms are used as analytical tools to separate inherited features from the glacial impact on Precambrian basement rocks in southwest Sweden. The study covers three different palaeosurfaces, the ...

There are glaciers on every continent except Australia. They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape ...

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 ...

Strange ridged landscapes on Pluto may have been left behind as ancient glaciers retreated. When the New Horizons spacecraft flew past the dwarf planet in 2015, it revealed an astonishing variety of ...
