When these particles settle on snow and ice, they reduce their albedo — their ability to reflect sunlight — which accelerates melting.

Hidden beneath the Antarctic ice lies a system of lakes and watercourses. A research team, including ETH researchers, has for the first time directly observed the subglacial streams of West ...

In a paper published in National Science Review, a Chinese team of scientists conducted an analysis on how changes in Arctic snow and ice cover affect cloud short-wave radiative effects, using ...

Thanks to global warming, our planet's glaciers continue to melt away, losing up to 390 billion tons of ice and snow per year, a new study suggests.
