Nature World: A topographical investigation of global cooling and glaciation over the last 2- to 3 million years has led to a new understanding of the balance between tectonics, climate and their interaction through erosion. A research team from the University of Tübingen Geoscience Department and other institutions compiled bedrock thermochronometric data from around the world to make their assessments. Thermochronometry is the study of a mineral, rock or geological region using radiometric dating of...
