The extreme yet transient nature of glacial erosion

Glacial erosion processes over geological timescales are poorly understood. Here the authors apply an observationally constrained model to reconstruct the evolving thermodynamics and transient erosional signature of the Eurasian Ice Sheet over the last 100,000-year ice age to reveal how it profoundl...

Description
Summary:Glacial erosion processes over geological timescales are poorly understood. Here the authors apply an observationally constrained model to reconstruct the evolving thermodynamics and transient erosional signature of the Eurasian Ice Sheet over the last 100,000-year ice age to reveal how it profoundly sculpted but also protected the landscape visible today
