The speed at which glaciers move changes predictably each year, according to the first-ever global map of how glacier and ice ...

Warmer air makes glaciers speed up more and reach peak speed earlier each year, showing temperature strongly controls how ice moves.

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are highly vulnerable to global warming and scientists are being increasingly worried about the possibility of large parts of the ice sheets collapsing, if ...

Scientists have raised the alarm over Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' after a new study revealed that underwater 'storms' were increasing the risk of a total collapse ...

Two decades of satellite and GPS data show the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf slowly losing its grip on a crucial stabilizing ...

While researching a separate topic, Naomi Ochwat noticed that a glacier in Antarctica had shrunk by 50%. What she learned was ...

Glaciers are flush with microbial life. But, as climate change speeds glacial melting, scientists rush to establish microbial ...

New satellite images show the extreme melting that has taken place on the critical Greenland ice sheet, according to researchers. The sheet is a mass of glacial land ice and is an integral part of ...

Antarctica's 'doomsday glacier,' Thwaites, is collapsing faster than anticipated, threatening catastrophic sea level rise.

Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us ...

Observing Greenland from a helicopter, the main problem is one of comprehending scale. I have thought we were skimming low over the waves of a fjord, before noticing the tiny shadow of a seabird far ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world’s second largest body of ice. Using 3-D ...
