Mountain ranges shaped by repeated glaciations exhibit characteristic landforms that reflect the interplay of ice dynamics, climate and tectonics. Glacial erosion occurs primarily through processes of ...

Glacial and periglacial processes are central to shaping Earth's high-latitude and high-altitude landscapes through a complex suite of erosional, depositional and mass-movement mechanisms. Ice masses ...

Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Glacial melt rivers and groundwater springs are transporting large volumes of methane from beneath the ice to the ...

The development of a high precision record of atmospheric radiocarbon shifts beyond 14,000 calendar years BP—obtained through combined studies (e.g., dendrochronology, radiocarbon dating and ...

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. This is ...
