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 ...

Glacial and periglacial processes are central to shaping Earth's high-latitude and high-altitude landscapes through a complex suite of erosional, depositional and mass-movement mechanisms. Ice masses ...

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the previous 41,000-year cycle. Scientists have now discovered landforms created ...

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. This is ...

Twenty thousand years ago, the land we live on now was under the leading edge of the last glacier of the last Ice Age. It takes effort today to imagine those hundreds of feet of ice over our heads, ...

Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost 1 km of mud in the North Sea. The results suggest that the landforms were produced about 1 million years ago, when an ...
