Scientists have uncovered that glaciers can temporarily cool the air around them, delaying some effects of global warming. This self-cooling, driven by katabatic winds, is nearing its peak and will ...

20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, hulking formations of flowing ice stretched across the Southern Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Most of those glaciers melted away by around ...

A new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews dates the dramatic collapse of one of the largest glaciers ever ...

In Europe and around the globe, melting glaciers are transforming both landscapes and national borders. In this article, Elzė Buslavičiūtė and Dr. Laurynas Jukna, researchers at the Institute of ...

They say time is an ever-flowing river and these ones take a LOT of time. This week, we’re bundled up and headed far north (or south) in search of glaciers. * First, the basics. Glaciers really are ...

This video segment adapted from NOVA scienceNOW features western Greenland's Jakobshavn Glacier, dubbed the world's fastest-flowing glacier. Scientists attempt to explain why this glacier is moving at ...

Glaciers have been present somewhere on Earth for at least 60 million years, a period stretching back almost to the time of the dinosaurs. That’s the key finding of our new research, which pushes the ...

Pushing off from the dock on a boat called the Capelin, Sandy Milner’s small team of scientists heads north, navigating through patchy fog past a behemoth cruise ship. As the Capelin slows to motor ...
