A recent study shows that there is a lot more sediment trapped beneath Greenland’s ice sheet than we realized, which could ...

Should growing glacial lakes be used for energy production and water supply—or remain protected as ecologically valuable ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered evidence glaciers in the Southern and Northern hemispheres were synchronous during the last ice age.

Seismic imaging detects subglacial sediments up to 650 feet thick, letting glaciers slide faster over soft beds than rock and ...

An ice core is a long drilled sample of ice from a glacier. After a few meters, the ice thusly drilled formed hundreds, even thousands of years ago, and minute chemical differences, sediment ...

The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that as climate change causes many glaciers to shrink and retreat their ...

Arête Glacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of sea-level rise and explore the possibility of refreezing glaciers in place. The Thwaites glacier is a fortress larger than ...

High in the mountains, glaciers once kept their cool—literally. The massive ice bodies create their own cold microclimates that retard melting even as the rest of the planet warms. But an exhaustive ...

Early test results indicate that this aquifer, which sits under the seabed and looks like it runs from New Jersey all the way ...
