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 ...

For nearly 70 years scientists have been probing, measuring, drilling and generally getting to know South Cascade Glacier in the US Northwest, developing and honing skills now used worldwide.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University’s Neal Iverson and an international team of researchers are working to help quantify the single biggest uncertainty in predicting how much glaciers will contribute ...

Hektoria Glacier’s sudden eight-kilometer collapse stunned scientists, marking the fastest modern ice retreat ever recorded ...

How could a glacier thousands of miles away remake the coastline of Florida? The answer is yes, say leading scientists and ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - They say time is an ever-flowing river and these take a lot of time to develop. Glaciers are flowing rivers of ice, formed when snowfall compresses into a solid sheet. Over the ...

A study published in Science finds that twice as much of the world's glacier mass could be preserved by meeting the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement. Current climate policies put the world ...

INNSBRUCK, Austria — Even if we manage to bring global temperatures back down after exceeding the critical 1.5°C (34.7°F) warming threshold, mountain glaciers worldwide will never fully recover. This ...

AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...
