Satellite images have offered scientists an update on the status of the Doomsday Glacier, which they say indicates sea levels are on the rise.

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

Boston, Mass. – Glacial deposits that formed on tropical land areas during snowball Earth episodes around 600 million years ago, lead to questions about how the glaciers that left the deposits were ...

A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards. New research has ...

Models produced by climate scientists in the 2000s suggested that the masses of ice that gave Glacier National Park its name ...

20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, hulking formations of flowing ice stretched across the Southern Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Most of those glaciers melted away by around ...

There are glaciers on every continent in the world (except Australia!), but they're disappearing slowly due to human caused climate change. They're much more important than you might realize to ...

Glaciers are awe-inspiring geological formations that have defined landscapes all over the world, including Colorado. A glacier is formed when snow accumulates for many years until thick ice is formed ...

Since the mid-1990s, the Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass, leaving only three floating tongues remaining. One of these, Nioghalvfjerdsbræ or the 79°N Glacier, is already showing the first ...

New research has tracked the evolution of a glacier lake dammed by a surge using satellite images, to help better understand its life cycle and the hazard it presents to nearby communities. During ...
