What processes are responsible for the rate of glacier erosion across the world, and could it be more than one process? This ...

Scientists used machine learning to reveal how glaciers erode the land at varying speeds, shaped by climate, geology, and heat. The findings help guide global planning from environmental management to ...

Glaciers carved the deep valleys of Banff, eroded Ontario to deposit the fertile soils of the Prairies, and continue to ...

Geographer Sophie Norris and her international team published what they say is the most comprehensive view of how fast ...

UVic research published in Nature Geoscience today provides the most comprehensive view into how fast glaciers erode and how ...

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 ...

Glen Coe, Scotland - a landscape carved by glacial erosion. Author provided But then there’s a bigger question of whether there is something even more fundamental that controls glacier speed and ...

Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA): The altitude on a glacier where accumulation and ablation are in balance. Overdeepening: The process by which glacial cirque floors are eroded to depths below the ...

The ice shelves that stretch out from the edges of Antarctica are under attack from “upside-down rivers” of warm water. Research published yesterday in the journal Science Advances ...
