New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million ...

Any material carried or moved by a glacier is called moraine. There are three different types of moraine: ...

They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape such as corries. Glaciers also deposit material to ...

Beneath the muddy depths of the North Sea, scientists have uncovered an ancient, frozen world shaped by a massive Ice Age ...

Unfortunately, the reconstruction of the conditions responsible for these features has been hindered both by a limited understanding of cryogenic processes and structures, and by the fragmentary ...

Seismic technology has revealed secrets of the Earth from a million years ago. During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the ...

creating erosional and depositional landforms from which scientists can reconstruct a region's glacial past. "When the ice is advancing, it produces streamlined, elongated features that are ...

The research team identified glacial landforms, including streamlined ridges carved by ice movement and features marking the ice sheet's retreat. They also found that strong ocean currents ...

Massive ice age landforms have been uncovered beneath the North Sea, offering insights into past glacial movements.

A challenge is that glacial landforms are often buried beneath thick layers of sediment, preventing their identification. Dr. Christine Batchelor, Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography ...
