The icy landscape high in the Andes is dotted with colorful glacial lakes and weathered rock. While in orbit over the Andes Mountains in southern…
In the summer of 2022, one of Tyrol’s most expansive glaciers experienced its most significant loss of mass on record. Last year, the Hintereisferner in…
Unusual late-season melting in Greenland turned the glacier’s surface into a mishmash of ice, firn, melt, and dirt. Every year from around May to early…
Research from Oregon State University has discovered a potential reason for the rapid retreat of sea-terminating glaciers: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater…
Using climate simulations, researchers suggest Mars’ gullies could have formed from melting water ice during periods of high axial tilt, offering a fresh perspective on…
In a new study, scientists how gullies on the slopes of Martian craters could have formed by on-and-off periods of meltwater from ice on and…
Mendenhall Glacier is a popular tourist destination near Juneau, but each year there is less of it to see. Each year, hundreds of thousands of…
Researchers suggest that Antarctica will almost certainly experience more frequent and intense extreme events, such as ocean heatwaves and ice loss. As efforts intensify to…
Seasonal warmth led to the rapid disintegration of sea ice near the junction of two large outlet glaciers. Summer can be harsh on the planet’s…
Shrinking Arctic glaciers are uncovering bubbling groundwater springs that release large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, according to a study in Nature Geoscience….
For the first time, a team including an expert from Swansea has charted the ground beneath Antarctica’s most at-risk glacier, providing vital insights into its…
A team of researchers, including climatologists and an astronomer, has utilized an enhanced computer model to recreate the ice age cycles that occurred between 1.6…
Study suggests extent of future sea level rise could be vastly underestimated. New research has found that the grounding line of Greenland’s Petermann Glacier shifts…
Scientists have used data from ESA’s CryoSat satellite to reveal that global glaciers shrunk by 2%, losing 2720 Gigatonnes of ice from 2010 to 2020,…
A recent study has revealed that the rising temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean are putting previously stable glaciers at risk. According to a recent study,…
The mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalayas has been significantly underestimated due to satellite limitations, with major implications for projections of glacier…
Revealing “invisible” glacier loss underwater Recent research shows that the mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalayas has been severely underestimated, due to the…
