Glaciers are often treated as scenic features or scientific curiosities. In fact, they are critical infrastructure. Though ...

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 ...

Glaciers have carved some of Earth’s most beautiful landscapes by steepening and deepening valleys through erosion. Think of the Scottish Highlands, Yosemite National Park in the US, or the Norwegian ...

During the last ice age, the Eurasian Ice Sheet was immense - the third largest on Earth spanning over 5,500 km from temperate conditions in southern Britain to the frigid polar regions of Svalbard ...
