Ancient glaciers reshaped Earth’s surface and shifted ocean chemistry, fueling the rise of complex life, a new study found. Calved icebergs from the Twin Glaciers are seen in 2013 off Greenland's ...

Blacksburg, Va. -- Intense glacial erosion has not only carved the surface of the highest coastal mountain range on earth, the spectacular St. Elias range in Alaska, but has elicited a structural ...

Glaciers carved the deep valleys of Banff, eroded Ontario to deposit the fertile soils of the Prairies and continue to change the Earth’s surface. But how fast do glaciers sculpt the landscape?

Glacial cirques are distinctive amphitheatre‐shaped depressions formed by the persistent erosive action of mountain glaciers. These landforms typically exhibit steep, often overhanging headwalls, ...

Because of Mars’ unique conditions, its ancient glaciers likely flowed very slowly, according to a new study in the Geophysical Research Letters. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA According to the USGS definition ...

Did you know Norway has over 1,000 fjords along its coast? This adds up to 15,500 miles of coastline. If you straighten out all these fjords, it would be 51,000 miles long. This shows the power of ...

Mars may be a freeze-dried planet now, but once, it was supposedly (almost) another Earth, with flowing water that froze into hulking mountains of ice. Because glaciers and ice sheets on Earth tend to ...

An unknown culprit has been removing oxygen from our atmosphere for at least 800,000 years, and an analysis of air bubbles preserved in Antarctic ice for up to 1.5 million years has revealed the ...

Fredonia officials have talked about cutting timber on the village’s reservoir property for years. They talked some more last week and will talk some more in the future. With several people expressing ...
