Arête Glacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of sea-level rise and explore the possibility of ...

According to U of I, the global climate is affected by glaciers and ice sheets, which cause sea level to rise and influence water cycles, “though there is remaining uncertainty around the exact ...

The study, published recently in Geophysical Research Letters, could help refine climate change predictions and improve our understanding of glacial dynamics. Doctoral candidate Yoram Terleth led ...

University of Idaho scientists developed a simplified glacier model. The model helps predict ice movement and its impact on sea levels. Findings improve understanding of short- and long-term glacier ...

Glaciers in Arunachal Pradesh retreated at a rate of 16.94 square kilometres per year between 1988 and 2020. Making an inventory of glaciers is useful for studying their changes over time, say experts ...

New Zealand ranks third globally in the proportion of ice lost from glaciers. Almost 30 percent of ice volume has melted during the past 24 years and what remains is disappearing at an accelerating ...

Melting glaciers are increasing the risk of devastating floods. The video highlights the challenges faced by villagers in northern Pakistan, a region often referred to as the "Third Pole" due to ...

Born in Leeds, Joe finished his Spanish degree in 2018 before becoming an English teacher to football (soccer) players and managers, as well as collaborating with various football media outlets in ...

As of the year 2000, glaciers—excluding the continental ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica—covered an area of 705,221 km² and held approximately 121,728 billion tons of ice worldwide. Since then, ...

The world’s largest iceberg has halted its glacial movement, temporarily stalling its invasion into the open ocean. Scientists are monitoring the iceberg’s path as its shift could have ...

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 ...
