Arête Glacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of sea-level rise and explore the possibility of ...

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

The study, published recently in Geophysical Research Letters, could help refine climate change predictions and improve our understanding of glacial dynamics. Doctoral candidate Yoram Terleth led ...

As the world focuses on glacier preservation on UN World Water Day, researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring ...

Glaciers are nature’s frozen sentinels, vast rivers of ice and snow that carve the Earth, silently bearing witness to the passage of time and the shifting rhythms of our planet. They are ...

Glacier movement, or glaciation, is known to scrape up and ferry terrestrial sediments into oceans, lakes and rivers, forming the basis of aquatic food webs. However, researchers who study ancient ...

A new mathematical model simplifies the understanding of glacier movement, showing that both short-term and long-term ice flow variations can be explained by a single set of fundamental equations.

(CNN) — More than half a billion years ago on a frigid, ice-covered Earth, glaciers stirred up ingredients for complex life by bulldozing land minerals and then depositing them in the ocean ...
