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 ...

When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers have shrunk over the past 40 years in a global warming hotspot for the first time—and the biggest retreat has occurred in recent years. The ...

Glaciologists recorded a five-mile retreat in just two months on the Hektoria Glacier on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula -- a rate nearly 10 times faster than previously measured for a grounded ...

Findings show the unprecedented speed of retreat is similar to the dramatic glacier retreats that occurred at the end of the last ice age.

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

It is not a secret that glaciers are melting, and that it causes a problem with sea levels rising, but a new way of reading, collecting, and analyzing data using AI, can make us better understand what ...
