Melting glaciers across the U.S. are rapidly altering river systems, reducing freshwater flow and threatening long-term water ...

Beneath the world’s vast and icy glaciers, where sunlight never reaches and only the bravest scientists dare to venture, lie ...

It investigates ice deformation, a key process in the movement of glaciers and ice sheets that ... scientists do this is based on a model called flow law, a mathematical equation that describes ...

These rocks grind together, creating tiny grains of dust, called rock flour. Some glaciers flow all the way to the sea and when they get there, pieces of the glacier can break off and form icebergs.

every day of the year. Much of the melt is occurring at several “hot spots,” where glaciers flow into the sea. Helheim Glacier is the fastest flowing glacier along Greenland’s eastern edge.

Meltwater flows over the Laohugou No. 12 glacier in the Qilian mountains, Subei Mongol Autonomous County, in Gansu province, China, on September 27, 2020. Carlos Garcia Rawlins/Reuters ...

Scientists have some wild ideas to slow sea-level rise caused by melting ice. Glaciers generally move so slowly you can’t see their progress with the naked eye. (Their pace is … glacial.

"These findings call into question predictions of the future of Greenland in a warmer climate from computer models that do not include variations in glacier flow as a component of change.
