Research indicates that delicate deepwater corals tolerated or adapted to major climate and salinity fluxes, “yet today, it’s ...

Inch by inch, as massive glaciers crept over frozen land toward an ice-covered sea, they scoured the ground beneath them, gouging and scraping rocks from Earth’s crust. When the glaciers eventually ...

Imagine floating in space, gazing on a frozen white orb. The ball hangs in the void, lonely and gleaming in the light from its star. From pole to equator, the sphere is covered in a thick crust of ice ...

A new study suggests glaciers carved metals out from the Earth’s surface 700 million years ago, leading to chemical reactions ...

The planet experienced at least two "extreme global glaciations" during the Cryogenian period, traces of which can be ...

These rocks preserve a detailed record of sedimentation during the Neoproterozoic, including distinct layers deposited during three major glacial episodes: the Sturtian (717-658 million years ago), ...

Gabrielle Kleber and Leonard Magerl, postdoctoral researchers at iC3, have discovered that Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. They found that ...

The first steps onto a glacier can feel like you’re on another planet. Some people compare it to being on the moon or Mars, likely because of the look of the surrounding rocks and glacial silt.

Ancient glaciers triggered floods that altered ocean chemistry, supporting evolving life. Scientists uncover how past events ...
