Glacier erosion is transforming Earth's landmass at an astonishing rate. Artificial intelligence reveals how melting ice ...

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

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their ...

MORTERATSCH, Switzerland — Almost 7,000 feet above sea level, the trail leading up to Morteratsch Glacier gets a little longer every year. Leo Hösli has made the climb many times. Each step sends ...

Scientists warn that climate change is destabilising mountainsides above Alaska’s fjords, threatening cruise ships and coastal towns with sudden, massive waves.

The mind-blowing pace of retreat from the Hektoria Glacier is reminiscent of glacial retreats from the Ice Ages.

Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula lost nearly half its size astonishingly rapidly. Scientists have now discovered the reasons behind its rapid retreat and say it raises fears for sea level ...

The ice caps which cover our planet's poles are key to understanding global weather patterns and changing climate. But we still don't have a complete understanding of how they work, and what goes on ...

Scientists have uncovered that glaciers can temporarily cool the air around them, delaying some effects of global warming. This self-cooling, driven by katabatic winds, is nearing its peak and will ...
