Mar. 17, 2023 Mapping a large coastal glacier in Alaska revealed that its bulk sits below sea level and is undercut by channels, making it vulnerable to accelerated melting in an already deteriorating coastal ...
Feb. 26, 2024 Among the vast expanse of Antarctica lies the Thwaites Glacier, the world's widest glacier measuring about 80 miles on the western edge of the continent. Despite its size, the massive landform ...
Oct. 27, 2023 A new Antarctic ice sheet modeling study suggests that meltwater flowing out to sea from beneath Antarctic glaciers is making them lose ice faster. ...
Nov. 28, 2023 Scientists are warning that apparently stable glaciers in the Antarctic can 'switch very rapidly' and lose large quantities of ice as a result of warmer oceans. Their finding ...
Sep. 24, 2024 Northeast Greenland is home to the 79 N Glacier -- the country's largest floating glacier tongue, but also one seriously threatened by global warming: warm water from the Atlantic is melting it ...
Jan. 9, 2023 Scientists have developed artificial intelligence techniques to track the development of crevasses -- or fractures -- on the Thwaites Glacier Ice Tongue in west Antarctica. A team of scientists has ...
Oct. 14, 2022 Models of sea level rise based on our understanding of how Earth's ice sheets respond to a warming atmosphere could be incorrect, a new study has found. This could have significant implications ...
Aug. 22, 2022 Researchers have now reconstructed the extent of Switzerland's glacier ice loss in the 20th century. The researchers used historical imagery and conclude that the country's glaciers lost ...
Aug. 5, 2022 As glaciers worldwide retreat due to climate change, managers of national parks need to know what's on the horizon to prepare for the future. A new study has measured 38 years of change for ...
Jan. 9, 2025 Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...
