SMU research reveals glaciers erode mountains faster than previously thought, with implications for climate change models and ...

A graphic showing how sediments from under the glacier pile up into buttressing moraines and how the UT Austin-led expedition plans to explore the glacial environment.

Water from the melting ice often drains into depressions once occupied by the glacier, creating large lakes. Many of these ...

The surface of Mars is known for being an extremely cold, desiccated, and irradiated place. But as its many surface features ...

For many of them, a portion of a glacier moraine acts as a dam. If that wall gives way, massive floods could result. The United Nations report noted that glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalaya region ...

These glacial deposits were of two kinds: Till - mixed or unstratified materials directly deposited by ice. Examples of till deposits include drumlins, moraines and erratics. Fluvio-glacial ...

Glacial lakes in the Himalayas are expanding at an alarming rate, increasing the risk of catastrophic floods for nearby ...

Their name derives from Lake Rogen in Sweden. Ribbed moraine is the North American, and perhaps, the preferred term. Their formation is uncertain but is often closely linked to that of drumlins (see ...
