Meltwater is scrambling chemical signals in mountain glaciers, pushing scientists to store fragile ice cores in Antarctica.

Scientists have long opposed polar geoengineering. Some now believe it will be necessary.

Once seen as climate change’s defiant holdout, Argentina’s Perito Moreno Glacier is now retreating—signaling a critical shift ...

Guwahati have developed a predictive framework to identify the locations where glacial lakes are likely to form in the ...

Tiny crystals in river sand challenge the idea that glaciers moved Stonehenge’s stones and point instead to human transport.

In the broad sense, Earth is still in an ice age because permanent ice remains at the poles, and the current warmth is an ...

Glaciers are often treated as scenic features or scientific curiosities. In fact, they are critical infrastructure. Though they cover roughly a tenth of the Earth’s land surface, meltwater from ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered evidence glaciers in the Southern and Northern hemispheres were synchronous during the last ice age. The finding, published in Nature Geoscience, ...

A team at the University of Colorado Boulder identified a process that caused a glacier in Antarctica to retreat faster than any other grounded glacier ever recorded, researchers said, losing about ...

An international research team has shown that avalanches are crucial to the survival of many glaciers worldwide. The study aims to contribute to better predictions of water resources and natural ...
