This process, for most glaciers, takes over a hundred years. Plucking – sometimes rocks get frozen to the base, sides and back wall of the glacier. The movement of the glacier pulls these frozen ...

Researchers have estimated the Antarctic “Doomsday” glacier—which has been predicted to cause a devastating rise in global ...

It’s not easy to photograph climate change, a slow, subtle process that develops over time. But when a glacier breaks up, the images can be breathtaking — and a sobering reminder of the ...

A University of Bristol study found that 91% of Svalbard’s glaciers have significantly shrunk since 1985, losing over 800 km² ...

A long process, the researchers said, that's essential for more accurate models of temperate glacier ice and better predictions of glacier flow and sea-level rise. More information: Collin M.

Co-author Jonathan Bamber, Professor of Glaciology at the University of Bristol, said, "Glacier calving is a poorly modeled and understood process that plays a crucial role in the health of a glacier.
