The speed at which glaciers move changes predictably each year, according to the first-ever global map of how glacier and ice ...

Glaciers are flush with microbial life. But, as climate change speeds glacial melting, scientists rush to establish microbial ...

A vinyl-style record made entirely of ice has been created on the Mer de Glace to draw attention to rapidly melting glaciers.

Scientists have uncovered a new threat hiding under the floating edges of Antarctica: fast moving, stormlike swirls of water ...

Scientists believe this pattern of weakening could be an early warning for other Antarctic ice shelves as well.

Warmer air makes glaciers speed up more and reach peak speed earlier each year, showing temperature strongly controls how ice moves.

The Alpine glaciers formation is in a strong negative phase globally. Passu Glacier in Gojal Hunza is retreating rapidly. The ...

As the last Ice Age came to an end nearly 10,000 years ago, something unexpected happened deep beneath Earth’s surface. Large glaciers began to melt. The sea levels rose quickly—about 1 centimeter per ...

A new global map reveals that glaciers move faster during summer and slower in winter, hinting at climate change's impact on ice flow.

Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us ...

High in the mountains, glaciers once kept their cool—literally. The massive ice bodies create their own cold microclimates that retard melting even as the rest of the planet warms. But an exhaustive ...

An Argo oceanographic float accidentally drifted away from its intended course around Totten Glacier, ending up near Denman ...
