Across Europe and around the world, melting glaciers are reshaping landscapes and climate systems. Researchers Elzė ...

As glaciers retreat due to a rise in global temperatures, one study shows that detailed 3D elevation models could drastically ...

Despite the looming ecological consequences, glacier motion remains poorly understood. The bedrock, the ice-bed interface and the water-filled cavities all affect friction and influence how the ...

Sensors to measure glacial motion can potentially be placed on top of, within, or below the glacier; however, each approach has its own drawbacks. For example, ...

"On Earth, this glacial motion has produced scoured landscapes in northern Europe and North America," Grau Galofre wrote. "Mars lacks such large-scale glacial erosion even in areas with other ...

Study Reveals What Happens During A 'Glacial Earthquake' : The Two-Way Scientists have figured out how massive chunks of ice trigger these seismically detectable events when they break off a glacier.

This article was originally published with the title “ Rate and Cause of Glacial Motion ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 33 No. 4 (July 1875), p. 49 doi:10.1038 ...

Every time the water was frozen in the tube there was a mimic representation of glacier motion. The ice possessed, the first two or three times it was frozen, ...

The glacial events in Italy and Kyrgyzstan have similar backbones, glaciologist Jeff Kargel said. ... which in turn can accelerate glacier motion,” said Farinotti in an email.

"As glacier thinning on the Juneau plateau continues and ice retreats to lower levels and warmer air, the feedback processes this sets in motion is likely to prevent future glacier regrowth, ...
