Caribou (known as reindeer in Europe) make one of the longest seasonal migrations of land animals, but an individual's propensity to migrate depends on its genetic ancestry, researchers report.

Southeastern Tibet is one of the most glaciated regions on the Tibetan Plateau both at present and during the Quaternary. Numerical dating of glacial deposits has allowed the establishment of a ...

Research on the Quaternary glaciation of the Iberian Peninsula reveals a complex record of glacial advances and retreats interwoven with episodes of rapid climate change. Detailed geomorphological and ...

Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models. Scientists at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have used AI to massively speed up ...

In recent years global warming has left its mark on the Antarctic ice sheets. The 'eternal' ice in Antarctica is melting faster than previously assumed, particularly in West Antarctica more than East ...

Glaciation refers to the climatic and geophysical processes leading to the formation, expansion, and persistence of glaciers and ice sheets, and their subsequent sculpting of the Earth’s surface. It ...
