Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.

A new study suggests glaciers carved metals out from the Earth’s surface 700 million years ago, leading to chemical reactions ...

Ancient glaciers triggered floods that altered ocean chemistry, supporting evolving life. Scientists uncover how past events ...

“It had been hypothesized that widespread glacial erosion of continental interiors could be caused by the Snowball Earth ice, ...

“It had been hypothesized that widespread glacial erosion of continental interiors could be caused by the Snowball Earth ice,” said Kirkland, a professor in the School of Earth and Planetary ...

The pattern repeated at each glacial interval, showing a consistent relationship between global freeze events and more intensive erosion of continental interiors. This finding overturns the idea that ...

At first glance, landscapes like the Great Plains and the Rockies may seem unchanging, but over geological time scales, ...

Rock strength has a significant impact on erosion and plays an important role in shaping the Earth's landscapes, according to ...
