News Image Mapping rock glaciers to understand their future on Earth and Mars Nov. 16, 2022 University of Arizona researchers developed a new method for analyzing rock glaciers, which are made up of a mix of ice, sand and rocks. The method could help scientists better understand these "hidden giants" on Earth and Mars.
