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, ...

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 ...

Contemporary and post-glacial rates of aeolian deposition are determined for three small catchments that straddle the alpine-subalpine ecotone in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British ...

Arctic and Alpine Research, Vol. 5, No. 1 (Winter, 1973), pp. 17-27 (11 pages) Rates of basal till deposition ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 cm year-1 have been obtained from the Burroughs Glacier in ...

Glaciers shape the land through processes of weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition, creating distinct landforms. This is a video about searching for evidence of glaciers in the Lake ...

Arctic and alpine geomorphology -- a review of current outlook and notable gaps in knowledge / Jack D. Ives -- Cryomorphic processes and micro-relief features, Victoria Land, Antarctica / Robert F.

The history of glaciations on Southern Hemisphere sub-polar islands is unclear. Debate surrounds the extent and timing of the last glacial advance and termination on sub-Antarctic South Georgia in ...

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 ...
