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, ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

The most comprehensive and high-resolution atlas of the seafloor of both Polar Regions is presented this week (Tuesday 25 April) at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly (EGU) in Vienna.

One of the most fundamental insights for understanding how landscapes evolve is based on determining the extent to which topography was shaped by glaciers or by rivers. More than 10 4 years after the ...

As the austral summer draws to a close, we are preparing to fly over the Southern Alps to survey glaciers. This annual flight supports the longest scientific study of Aotearoa New Zealand’s icescapes ...

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 ...

The ice sheets that sculpted the landscape of Northern Britain moved in unexpected ways and left distinctive egg-shaped features, according to new research. The ice sheets that sculpted the landscape ...

Sidney Stevens is a writer and editor for magazines, websites, and books, with a focus on health and environmental issues. As glaciers retreat, they leave piles of rocks and debris that they once ...

Mars has long been framed as a cold, dry desert, but new research is revealing a planet laced with hidden ice and glacial scars that reshape how I think about its past. Instead of a simple story of ...

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 ...
