Faster flowing glaciers could help predict nearby volcanic activity  Phys.org

To tie in with this month’s SoNYC birthday celebrations, we are hosting a collection of case

Global warming means many of the world’s ancient rivers of ice will be gone within decades, threatening ecosystems that rely on their meltwater, a looming crisis that photographer Edward Burtynsky highlights in his work

At an event co-hosted by IWMI and USAID, experts warn that rapid melting of glaciers in Pakistan's north could turn the Indus River seasonal, endangering 240 million lives.

The post Indus to become ‘a seasonal river’ by 2050 if glaciers continue melting first appeared on International Water Management Institute (IWMI).

In southeastern Greenland, two rivers of ice named Helheim and Kangerdlugssuaq flow in spurts and starts toward the coast. They are much like any other […]

The post Astrophysical Observatory scientists are monitoring the mysterious movements of glaciers appeared first on Smithsonian Insider.

The most comprehensive glacier assessment yet reveals that glacier melt was responsible for 27mm of sea level rise between 1961 and 2016. Ice loss from glaciers is now the second biggest contributor to rising sea levels after warming water. If glaciers continue to melt at current rates, most — including many in central Asia, central Europe, western Canada and the USA — will vanish during the second half of this century.

Industrial emissions of black carbon were responsible for the retreat of the glaciers in the European Alps that marked the end of the so-called ‘Little Ice Age’, according to a new study. The researchers explain how black carbon deposits could have caused glaciers to melt more rapidly from the mid-19th century and suggest that human activities were already having a visible influence on the climate before the effects of carbon dioxide were evident.

Greenland's ice sheet is on the move, with new images showing its glaciers moving 30 percent faster than they were a decade ago. Greenland and Antarctica are ho

A set of 80-year-old photographs discovered in a basement archive reveals the remarkable sensitivity of Greenland's glaciers to climate change, according to a n

The glaciers of the Andes Mountains have retreated at an unprecedented rate in the past three decades.

Scientists used computer models to predict how the glaciers would respond to future climate change, and the results were not reassuring.

The world's glaciers lost 260 gigatons of water each year between 2003 and 2009, making them responsible for almost a third of sea-level rise.

Researchers who have analyzed satellite images of the icy region suggest that the glaciers' acceleration may be cause for concern.

Icebergs that tumble into the ocean are the source of unusual "earthquakes" recorded at Alaskan glaciers.

The recently completed catalog will help researchers understand the effects of climate change and address water issues of local communities.

Antarctica is a land of ice. But dive below the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, and you'll find fire as well, in the form of subglacial volcanoes.

Greenland is famous for its massive glaciers, but the region was relatively free of ice until about 2.7 million years ago.

A study from the European Geosciences Union suggests that undersea barriers could limit sea level rise related to melting glaciers.

These aerial images highlight the devastating effect global warming has on the arctic.

A new time-lapse video shows Earth's glaciers in Alaska and the Yukon melting at an accelerated pace.

Glaciers around the world are melting faster than usual, threatening to eliminate some of our largest and oldest freshwater sources. Should we be worried?

Mountainsides are becoming less stable as glaciers retreat, leading to more landslides that can trigger massive - but localised - tsunamis

A study of what will happen to glaciers in the Alps under various climate scenarios suggests they will almost completely disappear if we keep pumping out carbon dioxide

Meltwater caused a 500-metre slab of ice to cascade down an Alaskan valley — and researchers say warmer summers are making similar events more likely

Pay attention, as this sort of thing could hit other mountainous areas that are dependent on glaciers for their water supply.

These vertical towers, made of artificially diverted glacial meltwater, are a brilliant idea and possible solution to alleviate water shortages brought on by the fast-melting Himalayan glaciers.

With a warming climate, the remains of unlucky mountaineers are beginning to rise from the ice.

Along with her large-scale drawings, artist Zaria Forman has recorded the eerie song of a warming planet.

Burning of the rainforest in southwestern Amazonia,  could release aerosols such as black carbon which may speed up the melting of the Andean glaciers, finds Rio de Janeiro State University.

A new study stirs up an old debate - whether the melting of the Himalayan glaciers is only evident at lower reaches, and the higher altitudes are in fact adding snow. Darryl D'Monte reports.
