A team of researchers has used mineral dating of river sands around Salisbury Plain to challenge the long-standing idea that ...

A new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews dates the dramatic collapse of one of the largest glaciers ever ...

Many high-mountain rivers in Asia transport more sediment downstream compared to a few years ago. Changes in sediment levels have a particularly strong impact on agriculture, water quality, flood ...

Glacial sediment dynamics in Alpine forelands encompass the processes by which ice masses erode, transport and deposit material in regions immediately beyond the mountain front. During glacial advance ...

The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that as climate change causes many glaciers to shrink and retreat their ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A large light blue glacier floating in the ocean Evidence of the world's oldest glacier is hiding near South Africa's gold fields, ...

A study on Rulung Glacier in Ladakh found that rising temperatures are intensifying interactions between meltwater and the ...

Geochemical analysis of river sediments around Stonehenge has found no trace of the rock signatures that glaciers would have ...

“The specific sediment yield in catchments with high glacial cover is on average an order of magnitude higher than glacier-free basins, and appears overall higher in Asia’s glacierized catchments than ...
