Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the Thwaites Glacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be ...

There are glaciers on every continent in the world (except Australia!), but they're disappearing slowly due to human caused climate change. They're much more important than you might realize to ...

Boston, Mass. – Glacial deposits that formed on tropical land areas during snowball Earth episodes around 600 million years ago, lead to questions about how the glaciers that left the deposits were ...

Glacial cirques are distinctive amphitheatre‐shaped depressions formed by the persistent erosive action of mountain glaciers. These landforms typically exhibit steep, often overhanging headwalls, ...

THE long summer was over. For ages a tropical climate had prevailed over a great part of the earth, and animals whose home is now beneath the Equator roamed over the world from the far South to the ...

A new global study predicts when the world’s glaciers will vanish and shows how warming levels shape their survival.

New research documents the fastest-known large-scale breakage along an Antarctic ice shelf. A 6.5-mile crack formed in 2012 over 5-and-a-half minutes, showing that ice shelves can effectively shatter ...

A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards. New research has ...
