Oh, wow, oh, oh, wow, oh, wow, oh, man.

Oh, my.

And so, you're listening to the Science of Everything podcast episode 129, glaciers, ice, and groundwater.

I'm your host, James Fodor. Now, this is our third and final in our recent little series of episodes

looking at geography and geomorphology and landscapes, and this one we're going to be looking at

glaciers, ice, and also groundwater. And one we're going to be looking at glaciers,

ice and also groundwater. And so we're going to start off by talking about glaciers and

where they are found and how they form. And then we'll talk about as we have been doing the

different types of effects that glaciers have on the landscape, so erosional transportation and

depositional processes.

We'll then talk a little bit about periglacial landscapes, so permafrost and the actions of ice and other effects that that has on the landscape,

and conclude by talking a bit about the hydrological cycle and groundwater, which is sort of a continuation on from talking about the

effects of permafrost. No very specific recommended pre-listing episodes today, although if you've

listened to the past couple of episodes in the series, you'll have kind of a background as to

the style of discussion and the general direction that we're taking. So, that being said,

let's make a start and talk a bit about glaciers.

So I'm sure you've all heard of a glacier before, but maybe don't know so much about them

unless you live in an environment where they are fairly common.

I live in Australia, where there are, I don't think there are any glaciers in continental

Australia, actually.

Certainly no very large ones.

Mostly glaciers are found in Greenland, Alaska, parts of Canada and Russia.
