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, ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have created the most comprehensive and high-resolution atlas of the seafloor of both Polar Regions. The most comprehensive and high-resolution atlas of the seafloor of both Polar Regions ...

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 ...

The Alpine regions, with their well‐preserved glacial landforms and stratigraphic records, are key archives for understanding past climate variability and landscape evolution. Over successive ...

This week's Sea-Floor Sunday should look familiar to those who get the journal Geology. This is the cover for the May 2009 issue -- and this image corresponds to this paper. Here is the short blurb ...
