| The last ice age widened the Aare and Gürbe valleys Posted: 02 Feb 2022 08:17 AM PST A team was able to prove that the glaciers of the penultimate ice age ('Riss' glaciation) mainly eroded the bedrock between Thun and Bern, but that during the last glaciation (' Würm'- glaciation) glacial carving resulted in a widening and not in a further deepening of the valleys. The researchers reconstructed the geometry of the bedrock using gravity measurements to reach their conclusions. |

The period spanned the Inca rule and the start of the European colonization -- a turbulent time of extensive famine and epidemics -- that coincided with widespread desecration of Indigenous people's graves by Europeans. |
