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 ...

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in ...

Gabrielle Kleber and Leonard Magerl, postdoctoral researchers at iC3, have discovered that Arctic glaciers are leaking significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

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

Glacier calving is the natural process of ice chunks breaking away from the edge of a glacier. Experiencing this phenomenon ...

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 ...

They found that glacial melt rivers and groundwater springs are transporting large volumes of methane from beneath the ice to the atmosphere. This previously unrecognised process could contribute ...
