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

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 ...

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 ...

See that U-shaped valley? That’s Lairig Ghru. It was carved out by a glacier, a huge river of ice, during the ice age - just like corries and other glacial features. As glaciers move downhill ...

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 ...

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 ...

Helvellyn is a mountain, which contains several glacial landforms. Two arêtes ascend to the summit of Helvellyn, Striding edge and Swirral edge. Striding Edge forms the back wall of the Red Tarn ...

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 ...

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