They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape such as corries. Glaciers also deposit material to ...

Seismic technology has revealed secrets of the Earth from a million years ago. During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the ...

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

Scientists have now discovered landforms created during the MPT, as glaciers retreated across what is now the North Sea. The new study relied on seismic data to locate possible areas for fossil ...

Glacial cirques are bowl-shaped depressions formed by the erosive action of ... highlighting the role of topography in shaping these landforms[2]. This aligns with findings from Scandinavia ...

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 ...

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 ...

Massive ice age landforms have been uncovered beneath the North Sea, offering insights into past glacial movements.

An international team of scientists unveiled exceptionally well-preserved glacial landforms buried nearly one kilometer beneath the North Sea, dating back approximately one million years ...
