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?

Extensive valley glaciers have repeatedly covered the inner gorges of the Swiss Alps during Quaternary glaciations. Two controversial explanations of the development of the features have been proposed ...

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 ...

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

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 ...

Landforms are used as analytical tools to separate inherited features from the glacial impact on Precambrian basement rocks in southwest Sweden. The study covers three different palaeosurfaces, the ...

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 ...

The UK has several areas of glaciated upland, including the north west Highlands and Loch Lomond. These landscapes were shaped by massive glaciers. This U-shaped valley was formed by a huge glacier.

Mars may be a freeze-dried planet now, but once, it was supposedly (almost) another Earth, with flowing water that froze into hulking mountains of ice. Because glaciers and ice sheets on Earth tend to ...
