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 ...

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?

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

NASA PSTAR RISE UP via AP A robot nicknamed Icefin operates under the sea ice near McMurdo Station in Antarctica in 2020. The pencil-shaped robot is giving scientists their first look at the forces ...

A team of researchers led by the University of Arizona (UArizona) conducted a radar “body scan” of Alaska’s Malaspina Glacier, which is the largest piedmont glacier in the world, and revealed interior ...

What processes are responsible for the rate of glacier erosion across the world, and could it be more than one process? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as a ...

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 ...

Thwaites Glacier — otherwise known as the “Doomsday glacier,” due to the fact it could raise the sea level by several feet — is allegedly hanging on “by its fingernails.” Scientists discovered that ...

Nepal's base camp on Mount Everest is being moved further down the mountain, due to climate change. The site is located on top of the thinning Khumbu Glacier, which has become hazardous for climbers.

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