What processes are responsible for the rate of glacier erosion across the world, and could it be more than one process? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as a ...

(CNN) — More than half a billion years ago on a frigid, ice-covered Earth, glaciers stirred up ingredients for complex life by bulldozing land minerals and then depositing them in the ocean, according ...

Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models. Scientists at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have used AI to massively speed up ...

20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, hulking formations of flowing ice stretched across the Southern Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Most of those glaciers melted away by around ...
