Greenland’s Ice Quakes Are Shaking Things Up Scientists discovered the true nature of ice flows The study, “ Hidden cascades of seismic ice stream deformation ,” was published in the journal ...

Ice quakes can trigger other ice quakes, so they can spread over long distances. "We were astonished by this previously unknown relationship between the dynamics of an ice stream and volcanic ...

Within glacial ice sheets, there are streams of ice, sometimes called ice rivers, that move much faster than the surrounding ice. If you’re having trouble imagining how ice moves inside ice, Elizabeth ...

As ice quakes occur frequently over a wide area in the researchers' measurements, ETH researcher Fichtner believes it is also plausible that they occur in ice streams everywhere, all the time.

Quakes recorded for the first time inside Greenland's biggest frozen river, the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, suggest this river and others switch between moving jerkily and flowing like honey.

Scientists discovered thousands of ice quakes beneath Greenland’s Ice Sheet, changing our understanding of ice movements and global climate. These quakes, revealed through advanced technology ...

However, this event was more likely a cryoseism, also known as an ice quake or a frost quake, and they're nothing new. In fact, they were observed in the United States as early as 1818.
