Glaciations refer to periods of time when the Earth's climate was sufficiently cold that large portions of the planet's landmasses were covered in ice sheets, glaciers, or permanent snow.
Glaciologists are scientists who study glaciers, which are large, slow-moving rivers of ice that are formed on land by the accumulation and compaction of snow that is compressed into the ice form. Glaciologists may work on glaciers found in polar regions, mountainous areas, or even in terrestrial environments like ice sheets and ice shelves. They investigate the structure, dynamics, and behavior of glaciers, as well as their impact on the environment and global climate.
