There are glaciers on every continent except Australia. They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape ...

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 response from deep ...

Landforms are used as analytical tools to separate inherited features from the glacial impact on Precambrian basement rocks in southwest Sweden. The study covers three different palaeosurfaces, the ...

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 ...

How do you reconstruct the landscape that a glacier has obliterated? Geologists have developed a new technique to determine the life history of minerals now on the surface but that once were under a ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract This paper attempts to reinterpret the scenery of the Cairngorm mountains; in particular, it suggests that there is little evidence for the ...

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

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 ...

The last ice age affecting the UK was at its peak around 22,000 years ago. When the ice age ended, around 11,000 years ago, distinct glaciated upland landscapes were left behind. The last ice age ...

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 ...
