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…
Scientists have some ideas about what might have caused a thin arc that spanned a fjord in Western Greenland. In summer, the fjords around Greenland…
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…
