Repeated, rapid drainages from a meltwater lake on Greenland’s 79°N Glacier are exposing how warming-driven fractures and ...

THE long summer was over. For ages a tropical climate had prevailed over a great part of the earth, and animals whose home is now beneath the Equator roamed over the world from the far South to the ...

Boston, Mass. – Glacial deposits that formed on tropical land areas during snowball Earth episodes around 600 million years ago, lead to questions about how the glaciers that left the deposits were ...

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

The Alpine glaciers formation is in a strong negative phase globally. Passu Glacier in Gojal Hunza is retreating rapidly. The Alpine glaciers and the continental ice sheets in the polar regions have ...

There are glaciers on every continent in the world (except Australia!), but they're disappearing slowly due to human caused climate change. They're much more important than you might realize to ...

A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards. New research has ...

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, hulking formations of flowing ice stretched across the Southern Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Most of those glaciers melted away by around ...

Glaciers are awe-inspiring geological formations that have defined landscapes all over the world, including Colorado. A glacier is formed when snow accumulates for many years until thick ice is formed ...
