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 ...

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

Glaciers carved the deep valleys of Banff, eroded Ontario to deposit the fertile soils of the Prairies and continue to change the Earth’s surface. But how fast do glaciers sculpt the landscape?

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder identified a process that caused a glacier in Antarctica to retreat faster than any other grounded glacier ever recorded, researchers said, losing about ...

A long-standing question in Earth sciences has been whether the climatic cooling that has occurred over the past 4 million to 6 million years — and the consequent growth of glaciers in temperate ...

This valley, noteworthy for its horseshoe shape in plan, has been variously interpreted as the result of glacial erosion or glacial modification of drainage. It can be shown, however, that neither ...

The Greenland ice sheet is melting at an increasing rate, a process accelerated by glacier calving, in which huge chunks of ice break free and crash into the sea, generating large waves that push ...

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 describes a ...
