O_2_08 — Weathering, Erosion, and Deep Time Landscape Evolution

Weathering (the in-situ breakdown of rock and minerals) and erosion (the transport of weathered material by water, wind, ice, and gravity) are the fundamental surface processes that, operating over deep time (millions to

O_5_05 — Ice Ages and Milankovitch Cycles: Orbital Forcing of Climate

Ice ages — periods when massive continental ice sheets expand to cover large portions of Earth's surface — are among the most dramatic climate events in the planet's history. The Quaternary glaciation (beginning ~2.6 mil
