If you’ve been following Miles O’Brien’s reports from Antarctica, you know he’s with an international group of researchers ...

The flow of ice at Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has sped up dramatically due to the disintegration of the ice shelf in front of it, and this could lead to faster sea level rise ...

Glaciers around the world are shrinking at a pace scientists say will continue for decades. Public attention often focuses on rising seas and water shortages. Another part of the story has received ...

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 ...

The condition of the global climate concerning glacial levels and sea levels was not an uncertain field of knowledge. Census after census looked into this, with a recent study finding the average loss ...

Meltwater is scrambling chemical signals in mountain glaciers, pushing scientists to store fragile ice cores in Antarctica.

As climate change continues to alter the planet, one of the earliest casualties will be glaciers spread across the world. However, the Pamir mountains in Central Asia have long resisted the trend of ...

Rock glaciers have also proven to be more resilient to changes like elevation-dependent warming, which means that the mountains are warming faster than lowlands. That’s, on average, 0.08 degrees ...
