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 ...
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 ...
Patches of desiccated, stiff gas-hydrate-hosting sediments and shallow bedrock beneath the Håkjerringdjupet ice stream would have locally enhanced basal friction, thereby providing resistance to the ...
