New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million ...

Grounded ice sheets move sediment around as they grow and shrink, creating erosional and depositional landforms from which scientists can reconstruct a region's glacial past. "When the ice is ...

Researchers have discovered huge landforms deep beneath the North Sea that suggest the region was swallowed by a giant ice sheet toward the middle of the last ice age. The scientists captured ...

See that U-shaped valley? That’s Lairig Ghru. It was carved out by a glacier, a huge river of ice, during the ice age - just like corries and other glacial features. As glaciers move downhill ...

Dec. 13, 2024 — Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost ... 2024 — Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating ...

Fluvial systems, which include rivers and their associated landforms, play a crucial role in shaping landscapes and influencing sediment transport and deposition. Recent research has focused on ...

They completed a relay race using mega blocks to demonstrate weathering (the breakdown of the LEGOs), erosion (running with the blocks) and deposition (building the new landform). The WoW will ...

Mean slope, aspect and velocity were calculated for each rock glacier sub-unit and compared statistically. Then for the sub-landform scale analysis the corresponding flow and topographic parameters ...

The landscape, with its periglacial landforms and low topographic relief ... by China Scholarship Council (201606180048 to SL), European Research Council (ERC Glacial Legacy 772852 to UH), and German ...

Following the ancient glacier, researchers encountered a thick ... in the UK and co-author of the new study describing the landforms, in an interview with Live Science. She added that areas ...
