Approximately 25 million cubic meters of rock and ice from the mountain had plunged into the sea, generating a 200m-high tsunami that ... the initial landslide. The glacier next to the fiord ...

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

Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...

Eventually it creates a sort of moving river of ice, called a glacier. The ice does not melt much at high altitudes, but does when it moves down to warmer levels. Usually there is a balance ...

Thanks to climate change, thawing permafrost in the Canadian Arctic has revealed the buried remnant of a glacier that’s 770,000 years old.

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 ...

Buried within the permafrost, researchers believe this is the oldest glacier ice ever found in the Arctic. The glacier piece became visible after 2009 landslides in the area. Researchers were ...

The resulting data could lead to more accurate models of temperate glacier ice and better predictions of glacier flow and sea-level rise. Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when ...
