Scientists have found that even seemingly stable glaciers in the Antarctic can “switch very rapidly” and lose large quantities of ice as a result of…
Glaciers in the Western United States are disappearing. A recent study by researchers at Portland State University has revealed significant changes in glaciers. The findings…
In the summer of 2022, one of Tyrol’s most expansive glaciers experienced its most significant loss of mass on record. Last year, the Hintereisferner in…
Using geoengineering techniques, the climate could theoretically be artificially influenced and cooled. Scientists from Bern have now explored the feasibility of halting the melting of…
Scientists analyzing geological samples from Scotland’s Ythan Estuary have pinpointed a melting ice sheet as the likely trigger of a major climate-change event just over…
Research from Oregon State University has discovered a potential reason for the rapid retreat of sea-terminating glaciers: the bursting of tiny, pressurized bubbles in underwater…
Recent studies indicate that the implementation of the 1987 global agreement aimed at safeguarding the ozone layer has successfully delayed the emergence of the initial…
The potential consequences of climate change-induced melting of Antarctica’s major ice sheets would be catastrophic. However, at least one ice sheet in East Antarctica experienced…
A recent study has revealed that the rising temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean are putting previously stable glaciers at risk. According to a recent study,…
Scientists discover that during periods of global warming, ice sheets can retreat at a pace of up to 600 meters per day, which is 20…
A deeper understanding of Antarctic Bottom Water. Researchers have learned new information on how Antarctica’s subsurface ice formation contributes to the circulation of cold, dense…
Arctic sea ice likely reached its 2018 lowest extent on September 19 and again on September 23, according to NASA and the NASA-supported National Snow…
Antarctica’s great ice sheet is losing ground as it is eroded by warm ocean water circulating beneath its floating edge, a new study has found….
A NASA study based on an innovative technique for crunching torrents of satellite data provides the clearest picture yet of changes in Antarctic ice flow…
A paper appearing in Geophysical Research Letters uses machine learning to craft an improved model for understanding geothermal heat flux — heat emanating from the…
A UCLA-led team was the first to measure Greenland’s melting glaciers from the top of the ice sheet. Their discoveries could help scientists better predict…
A new NASA study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that during Greenland’s hottest summers on record, 2010 and 2012, the ice in Rink Glacier…
