A new mathematical model simplifies the understanding of glacier movement, showing that both short-term and long-term ice flow variations can be explained by a single set of fundamental equations.

Glacier movement, or glaciation, is known to scrape up and ferry terrestrial sediments into oceans, lakes and rivers, forming the basis of aquatic food webs. However, researchers who study ancient ...

It directs the movement of the glacier and is shaped by it. It’s meant to symbolize “two possible futures,” he says. “One where we do something; one where we do nothing.” The somewhat ...

At 5 100 meters above sea level, the air around Bolivia's Huayna Potosí glacier is thin, brittle with altitude. The wind moves over the ice in long, deliberate strokes, shaping a landscape caught ...

Hyderabad: Almost all of India’s glaciers — the ice reservoirs built over tens of thousands of years – in the Himalayas are melting, according to the central government. Acknowledging the ...

The first World Day for Glaciers is less a celebration than a reckoning as years of record, rapid glacier retreat means many will not survive the 21st century. https ...
