By using a fiber-optic cable to detect tiny vibrations a mile below the surface, scientists discovered a surprising way that ...

The amount of ice that Greenland's glaciers dump into the Atlantic Ocean has almost doubled in the last five years because glaciers are moving faster, according to a new study.

Glaciers are large masses of frozen ice that move slowly downhill. As glaciers move, they wear away the surrounding land through erosion. Glaciers sometimes transport material over long distances ...

Glaciers are not moving No! They are moving. Generally, we see glaciers in the high mountains, and they look like they are just sitting there. But the reality is, glaciers are moving. “Glaciers are ...

Totten has long been recognised as the fastest moving glacier in East Antarctica Once again the melting culprit is likely to be warm water that is being pulled up from the deep by shifting sea-ice ...

Jakobshavn is one of the world’s fastest-moving glaciers. It alone accounted for a significant chunk of the increase in the rate that sea levels have risen over the 20th century. The 110,000 ...

Assuming that ice–ocean interactions within Greenland fjords are a key element of ice-sheet activity, we propose that acoustic detection and monitoring of glacier calving in fjords is feasible ...

The analysis revealed that the glacier's flow sped up on a daily and twice-daily basis. The first boost is likely because of daily increases in meltwater flow when the daytime air temperature ...
