Earthquakes recorded under the Thwaites Glacier reveal processes of fracturing and sliding of the ice over the Antarctic bedrock.

Across Europe and around the world, melting glaciers are reshaping landscapes and climate systems. Researchers Elzė Buslavičiūtė and Dr. Laurynas Jukna from the Institute of Geosciences at the Faculty ...

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ...

At the edge of Antarctica, one of the planet’s most fragile ice giants is splintering so violently that it is sending out its ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University’s Neal Iverson and an international team of researchers are working to help quantify the single biggest uncertainty in predicting how much glaciers will contribute ...

Although we know glaciers are melting, we can't always see it. One researcher, however, has discovered that he can hear it. The BBC profiled Konstantine Vlasis, a percussionist and environmental ...

Ancient glaciers reshaped Earth’s surface and shifted ocean chemistry, fueling the rise of complex life, a new study found. Calved icebergs from the Twin Glaciers are seen in 2013 off Greenland's ...

We might be able to tell when a volcano is about to erupt with the help of another natural wonder: glaciers. Glaciers that are within 3 miles of a volcano appear to move nearly 50 percent faster than ...

As climate change warms the planet, glaciers are melting faster, and scientists fear that many will collapse by the end of the century, drastically raising sea level and inundating coastal cities and ...

There's always a moment of intense isolation when Jessica Mejía gets dropped off on the Greenland ice sheet for a multi-week research stint. "You know you're very much alone," says Mejía, a ...

Rock glaciers are distinctive landforms found in cold, mountainous regions, representing slowly creeping masses of debris interspersed with ice. Their movement, quantified as rock glacier velocity, ...

They also found letters in orange paint on rocks, which they believe were used to measure glacier movement. The researchers determined that between 1883 and 2015, Maclure has gone from 99 to 33 acres, ...
