New research shows temperate glacier ice flows more steadily than previously thought, leading to lower projections of ...

New research has tracked the evolution of a glacier lake dammed by a glacier surge using satellite images, to help better understand its life cycle and the hazard it presents to nearby communities.

Scientists may just have identified Thwaites Glacier's Achilles heel. This Antarctic colossus is melting at a rapid rate, dumping billions of tonnes of ice in the ocean every year and pushing up ...

Eventually it creates a sort of moving river of ice, called a glacier. The ice does not melt much at high altitudes, but does when it moves down to warmer levels. Usually there is a balance ...

The results showed that they can: CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 differed by no more than 3% in their estimates of the elevation change on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Their joint results revealed that the ice ...

Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has ...

Huge chunks of ice have broken off the Tasman Glacier, New Zealand's largest. They have filled up at least a quarter of the meltwater lake at the foot of the glacier in the Aoraki/Mount Cook ...

Go to "Ice & Landscape" (listed on the left side) then "Glacial erosion (subglacial)" 4. What is the distinction between plucking and abrasion? 5. Explain how a glacier works as a ... Take the ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...
