Glaciers are large masses of frozen ice that move slowly downhill. As glaciers move, they wear away the surrounding land through erosion. Glaciers sometimes transport material over long distances ...

“Dramatic landscape change causing the emergence of macroscopic animals is a neat idea, but the paper introduces a hypothesis about glacial erosion/weathering that can be tested, rather than ...

Weathering and erosion slowly chisel ... Back up on the mountains, snow and ice build up into glaciers that weigh on the rocks beneath and slowly push them downhill under the force of gravity.

The CO₂ levels in the atmosphere may have fallen because of increased weathering of rocks situated ... crucial role in ending these ice ages. As glaciers covered the planet, interactions between ...

scientists believe a significant drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide—possibly driven by tropical weathering—could have played a major role. While glaciers are often seen as destructive forces ...

The CO₂ levels in the atmosphere may have fallen because of increased weathering of rocks situated ... crucial role in ending these ice ages. As glaciers covered the planet, interactions between ...

We address a wide array of landscapes with an equally broad set of tools and methods. We study the weathering of rock to produce sediment, the transport of sediment on hillslopes and in rivers, and ...
