Boulder, Colo., USA: The Kaokoland region of northwest Namibia is a desertic land: Vast barren plateaus are deeply dissected by several hundred-meter-deep U-shaped valleys in which ephemeral streams ...

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

Because of Mars’ unique conditions, its ancient glaciers likely flowed very slowly, according to a new study in the Geophysical Research Letters. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UofA According to the USGS definition ...

Fjord morphologies and associated glacial erosion features attesting that glaciers flowed through the desertic landscape of NW Namibia 300 million years ago. This U-shaped valley is carved into hard ...

Machine learning (ML) is not only reshaping the tech industry but also making significant strides in environmental studies, particularly in understanding glacier erosion. This innovative intersection ...

North East Scotland is an area characterised by selective glacial erosion. In this study a steady-state maximum ice sheet model is used to calculate basal ice sheet temperatures for the bed of a ...

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 ...
