A crucial ice shelf holding back Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier may collapse within months, potentially speeding future sea ...

New research documents the fastest-known large-scale breakage along an Antarctic ice shelf. A 6.5-mile crack formed in 2012 over 5-and-a-half minutes, showing that ice shelves can effectively shatter ...

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 ...

A team of scientists say seawater flowing underneath and into gaps in the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica is contributing to the melting of the massive ice formation — a potentially ominous sign of the ...

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 ...

In just 15 months, Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier lost roughly 25 kilometers of grounded ice, about 15 miles, retreating ...

In 1995 large meltwater lake formed and developed on the surface of the 79°N Glacier. Researchers observed that over the years, this lake has caused gigantic cracks and the outflowing water is lifting ...

AMES, Iowa – Long, narrow hills called drumlins form underneath glaciers, far from the eyes and instruments of geologists. And so – despite 150 years of studies, 1,300 publications and fields of ...
