The weatheron Mars was much balmier in the recent past than scientists have previouslythought, according to a new interpretation of the formation of certainlandforms on the surface. The findingcould ...

Great escarpments can be found in southern Africa, India, Brazil and Australia The mystery of how some of the Earth's most dramatic landforms came into being has been solved, scientists believe.

During the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), the Earth adopted a 100,000-year glacial-interglacial cycle compared to the previous 41,000-year cycle. Scientists have now discovered landforms created ...

Soil formation in polar regions is relatively weakly recognised due to their rarity and spatial dispersion. The main ...

Glaciologists used sound waves to reveal Ice Age landforms buried beneath almost 1 km of mud in the North Sea. The results suggest that the landforms were produced about 1 million years ago, when an ...

The formation of many arctic wetlands is associated with the occurrence of polygon-patterned permafrost. Existing scenarios to describe and explain surface landforms in arctic wetlands (low-center and ...

Granular sediment may behave as a strong, rock-like material owing to the following mechanisms that stabilize sediment fabric 21: capillary cohesion from interfacial tension caused by partial water ...

New images from the North Sea show never-before-seen landforms that were carved by a single, colossal ice sheet 1 million years ago and subsequently buried beneath a thick layer of mud. When you ...
