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 ...

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?

Our ability to assess how glacial erosion shapes mountain ranges and reflects climate or tectonic variability is limited by a dearth of information about what controls the rate of glacial erosion, ...

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 ...

Distinctive alpine landforms, such as broad ‘U’-shaped, flat-floored valleys, hanging valleys, cirques, horns and knife-edged ridges (arêtes), are considered the fingerprints of glacial erosion. These ...

How do you reconstruct the landscape that a glacier has obliterated? Geologists have developed a new technique to determine the life history of minerals now on the surface but that once were under a ...

Glaciers have carved some of Earth’s most beautiful landscapes by steepening and deepening valleys through erosion. Think of the Scottish Highlands, Yosemite National Park in the US, or the Norwegian ...

Drumlins are a ubiquitous landform in lands once overrun by glaciers, and yet after two centuries of studying them, we still aren’t certain how these teardrop-shaped hills form. Top image: A drumlin ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The Church publishes the Monitor ...

New insights into rates of bedrock erosion by glaciers around the world will help to identify better sites for the safe storage of nuclear waste, according to researchers. A new analysis of global ...
