This concept is supported by evidence found in sedimentary rocks formed under glacial conditions ... their role during the Cryogenian was more complex. Acting as enormous bulldozers, glaciers ...

Hypotheses include a sequence of global glaciation events, known collectively as “Snowball Earth,” which occurred during the Cryogenian period more than 635 million years ago. “These tiny and ...

With previous and preliminary studies, we have demonstrated that the age of Sturtian glacial deposits in the Yukon is indistinguishable ... studies that constrain the timing and duration of the ...

China is staring at a water crisis in the mid-to-long term after the latest climate data showed a rapidly depleting glacial count. As many as 7,000 glaciers have disappeared completely ...

NECESSITY is indeed the mother of invention, as witnessed in Gilgit-Baltistan. In these areas, where climate change has dramatically reduced snowfall and disrupted traditional water cycles ...

The state's susceptibility to such events stems from its dynamic topography and history of disasters, such as the 2013 Kedarnath floods and the 2021 Raini avalanche. USDMA's three-phase plan ...

These large predators were lost during the Late Pleistocene extinctions that eliminated many large land mammals from the Americas near the end of the most recent glaciation. Now, in a coordinated ...

Nevertheless, the seasonal melting and freezing of this ice still impacts the Martian environment and offers clues about glacial activity in the past. In a recent paper, a team of scientists from ...

As an ice sheet thousands of feet thick began its final crawling retreat from North America to the Arctic toward the end of the last glacial period some 10,000 years ago, it left behind the planet ...

Over time, these wet phases became shorter and less intense, coinciding with major global changes such as Northern Hemisphere glaciation and a weakening of the monsoon system. After the mid ...
