Glaciers melting rapidly, fields of moss expanding, water streaming off ice shelves once frozen solid: these are just a few of the impacts of climate change observed by a team of 57 researchers ...

Chan’s ice rink experiments tested three treatments: calcium chloride pellets, sand, and clay-based granules. While chemical solutions reduced slide distances by 58%, they left corrosive residues ...

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a natural product found in many settings, including the minerals aragonite1 and calcite2; the sedimentary rocks limestone3 and chalk4; and animal structures such as ...

As the last Ice Age came to an end nearly 10,000 years ago, something unexpected happened deep beneath Earth’s surface. Large glaciers began to melt. The sea levels rose quickly—about 1 ...

Around 10,000 years ago as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, may have temporarily sped up—with a little help from ...

Recent scientific studies reveal that melting ice sheets in West Antarctica might trigger volcanic activity, creating a cycle that speeds up ice loss and sea-level rise.
