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

There could be an irreversible retreat of parts of the ice sheets, raising sea levels much faster than currently planned.

Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, often called the "Doomsday Glacier," is moving into a more unstable phase that could reshape ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

A robotic float has measured the temperature and salinity from parts of the ocean never sampled before—underneath massive ...
