Detailed study of a Greenland glacier's flow rate reveals the impact of environmental conditions. Even though 'glacial' is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has ...

Accurate projections of sea level rise require sophisticated models for glacier flow, but current approaches do a poor job capturing the physical processes that control how fast glaciers slide over ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Most of the news regarding the Thwaites Glacier, a Florida-sized slab of ice that is melting and currently contributing about 4 percent of global sea level rise, is bad. But a bit of ...

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in ...

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 ...

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 ...

One of West Antarctica's largest glaciers surged a staggering 325 feet (about 100 meters) in less than two weeks this month, the European Space Agency reports. Two radar images from the ESA's Sentinel ...
