They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape such as corries. Glaciers also deposit material to ...

Seismic technology has revealed secrets of the Earth from a million years ago. During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the ...

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.

New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million ...

An international team of scientists unveiled exceptionally well-preserved glacial landforms buried nearly one kilometer beneath the North Sea, dating back approximately one million years ...

particularly during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and understanding the resulting landforms and sedimentary sequences that characterize the Alpine landscape today. One significant area of ...

Massive ice age landforms have been uncovered beneath the North Sea, offering insights into past glacial movements.

Geophysical surveys have shown that ice-rich permafrost is not limited to rock glaciers but is also present in other permafrost landforms. This finding underscores the need to consider all forms ...

A generic term for the range of longitudinal and transverse landforms produced at the base of a glacier or ice sheet as a result of active ice flow across a sediment base. Whilst individual types of ...

Grounded ice sheets move sediment around as they grow and shrink, creating erosional and depositional landforms from which scientists can reconstruct a region's glacial past. "When the ice is ...
