Melting glaciers are a key indicator of the human-influenced changes to our climate. A recent study shows just how quickly glaciers are melting. An international team of researchers from the Glacier ...

The melting of one of North America’s largest ice fields has accelerated and could soon reach an irreversible tipping point. That’s the conclusion of new research colleagues and I have published on ...

The glaciers in Canada's St. Elias Mountains are melting at an alarming rate. These disappearing glaciers have shaped the lives of Indigenous people who have lived there for generations and continue ...

High in the mountains, glaciers once kept their cool—literally. The massive ice bodies create their own cold microclimates that retard melting even as the rest of the planet warms. But an exhaustive ...

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 ...

In a study conducted by the University of Wisconsin’s Proglacial Lab, Dr. Shaun Marcott’s team has discovered that tropical glaciers in the Andes Mountains are now smaller than they have been at any ...

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 ...

The landslide that buried most of a Swiss village this week is focusing renewed attention on the role of global warming in glacier collapses around the world and the increasing dangers. How glaciers ...
