A new study reveals that the ability of glaciers to cool nearby air will peak in 2030 and then rapidly disappear, ...

Researchers in Greenland used a 10-kilometer fiber-optic cable to track how iceberg calving stirs up warm seawater. The ...

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.

Scientists have uncovered that glaciers can temporarily cool the air around them, delaying some effects of global warming. This self-cooling, driven by katabatic winds, is nearing its peak and will ...

For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their long-running survey reveals that Helheim's massive calving events don't behave ...

Hidden beneath the thick, frozen skin of East Antarctica lies a surprising discovery—ancient river-carved landscapes that may hold the key to understanding how the vast ice sheet will behave as the ...

The mind-blowing pace of retreat from the Hektoria Glacier is reminiscent of glacial retreats from the Ice Ages.

A mismatch between eco-friendly government rhetoric and polluting actions on the ground is exacerbating Tajikistan’s climate change vulnerability.

Satellite images show that, after decades of stability, a major glacier draining the Greenland ice sheet has dramatically increased its speed and retreated nearly five miles in recent years. These ...
