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

A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that glaciers in western Canada, the United States, and Switzerland ...

One study there tracked a rock glacier in the Alps for about 70 years and found almost zero change in the total mass of its ice. Meanwhile, nearby surface glaciers were shrinking rapidly.

Warming seas are carving into glacier that could trigger sea level rise. New research provides a startling look at how warmer oceans, driven by climate change, are gouging the West Antarctic’s ...

This once-massive ice sheet is shrinking by 40 meters per year, a staggering rate that is transforming the Icelandic landscape. Solheimajökull glacier in Iceland CBS Boston ...

How melting Arctic glaciers contribute to rising sea levels 05:25. The massive "doomsday glacier" known for its rapid destabilization is undergoing a "vigorous ice melt" that scientists say could ...

The Guliya Glacier, where the ice cores were sampled, is situated in the Himalayas in northwestern Tibet, nearly 4 miles above sea level. Stock images of the Himalayas (main) and a virus (inset).

The ice vanished so fast, Pastoruri technically no longer qualifies as a glacier. A true glacier adds bulk from snowfall each winter, but Pastoruri gets smaller every season. And visitor numbers ...

The ice of Ruth Glacier first gathers in a vast field rimmed by towering granite ridges, the names of which — Moose’s Tooth, Bear’s Tooth, Eye Tooth — give some sense of their sheer, sharp ...

However, in areas where the parts of the glacier lift off the seabed and the ice begins to float, tidal action is pumping warmer sea water, at high pressure, as far as 10 kilometers under the ice.

The remains of a glacier have been found near the Martian equator. While the glacier no longer exists, a salty layer has preserved the shape, size and detailed features of the icy formation.
