Drumlins are a ubiquitous landform in lands once overrun by glaciers, and yet after two centuries of studying them, we still aren’t certain how these teardrop-shaped hills form. Top image: A drumlin ...

It's a mystery that has stumped geologists for more than a century. Now, thanks to new technology - including satellite laser imagery - researchers may be one step closer to understanding the origins ...

“Drumlin hills are the most studied and yet the most enigmatic ice age landform,” says Professor Nick Eyles of geology at the University of Toronto Scarborough “Thanks to high resolution satellite ...

Large-scale drumlins occur abundantly throughout central and northern Sweden. Whereas many drumlins in the north are an integral part of a relict glacial landscape >100,000 years old, those to the ...

Eighteen thousand years ago, Boxborough was under a mile-thick layer of ice. Over thousands of years, the ice pushed forward, forming hills called drumlins. As it melted, sub-glacial water tunnels ...

Geology is full of strange mysteries, from towering structures to small formations. The more we examine these deceptively complicated phenomena, the less we understand their origins and the processes ...

Tiksi area in eastern Siberia has generally been believed to have remained ice-free throughout the entire Ice Age. However, new glacial geomorphological research in the region has revealed evidence of ...

There are glaciers on every continent except Australia. They are found in the coldest places, in Polar regions and on mountains. Glaciers can form distinct landforms through erosion of the landscape ...

Graph showing changes in the outline of the bed of the Rutford Ice Stream between 1991and 1997 (top graph) and between 1997 and 2004 (bottom graph); a considerable amount of erosion was noted in 1997, ...

Drumlins and megaridges are all part of a single family of landforms formed by erosion, new research concludes. Shaped like an upturned boat, drumlin hills are found clustered together in their ...
