Nestled within the immense wilderness of Antarctica, the Thwaites Glacier stretches impressively across approximately 80 miles on the continent’s western frontier. Despite its monumental scale,…
The surface melting of a high-elevation glacier in the Alps has rendered it unusable for scientific research. Glaciers are natural archives of past climate. In…
There’s enough water frozen in Greenland and Antarctic glaciers that if they melted, global seas would rise by many feet. What will happen to these…
Even if global warming were to stop entirely, the ice volume in the European Alps is projected to decrease by 34% by 2050. Should the…
Alaska’s Columbia Glacier has significantly retreated over 20 km since the 1980s, with climate change being a major factor. Satellite imagery from 2023 highlights the…
Resting atop a shingled sandstone landscape, the Norwegian glacier has been in decline since the late 1990s. Ålfotbreen glacier rests on ledges of sandstone among…
As part of the Ice Memory initiative, PSI researchers, with colleagues from the University of Fribourg and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice as well as…
A new, comprehensive analysis of satellite data finds more Greenland ice lost than previously estimated and that the majority of glaciers on the landmass have…
The Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has experienced an irreversible retreat, crossing a tipping point in the past 80 years, according to a recent…
Himalayan glaciers react, blow cold winds down their slopes. Himalayan Glaciers fight back to preserve themselves, but for how long? An international team of researchers,…
Greenland’s peripheral glaciers are retreating rapidly, with recent studies showing a significant acceleration in the 21st century. This highlights the urgent need to address climate…
Scientists have found that even seemingly stable glaciers in the Antarctic can “switch very rapidly” and lose large quantities of ice as a result of…
Glaciers in the Western United States are disappearing. A recent study by researchers at Portland State University has revealed significant changes in glaciers. The findings…
The new findings are ubiquitous, even among Earth’s northernmost glaciers. New study documents how Greenland’s peripheral glaciers have changed from 1890 to 2022 Using satellite…
In the largest survey of its kind ever conducted researchers from the University of Copenhagen firmly establish that Greenland’s glaciers are melting at an unprecedented…
A recent theory illustrates the mechanism by which water underneath glaciers may surge — creating a dangerous feedback cycle. Two Georgia Tech researchers, Alex Robel…
Scientists using space-based radar found that land in New York City is sinking at varying rates due to human and natural factors. A few spots…
