A technology called synthetic aperture radar (SAR) clears these hurdles by beaming out energy pulses and measuring the amount ...

Across Europe and around the world, melting glaciers are reshaping landscapes and climate systems. Researchers Elzė Buslavičiūtė and Dr. Laurynas Jukna from the Institute of Geosciences at the Faculty ...

University of Idaho researchers have developed a mathematical model that simplifies the way scientists understand changes in glacier movement. This new approach demonstrates that diverse patterns of ...

A meltwater lake that formed in the mid-1990s on Greenland’s 79°N Glacier has been draining in sudden, dramatic bursts ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University’s Neal Iverson and an international team of researchers are working to help quantify the single biggest uncertainty in predicting how much glaciers will contribute ...

We might be able to tell when a volcano is about to erupt with the help of another natural wonder: glaciers. Glaciers that are within 3 miles of a volcano appear to move nearly 50 percent faster than ...

Rock glaciers are distinctive landforms found in cold, mountainous regions, representing slowly creeping masses of debris interspersed with ice. Their movement, quantified as rock glacier velocity, ...

There aren't many places on the planet where you can see both active volcanoes and massive glaciers. This Icelandic national ...

Antarctica’s Hektoria Glacier may be considered small, but the amount of ice it has lost in record time is a really big deal. The glacier is about 115 square miles (or roughly the size of Philadelphia ...

The Lambert-Fisher Glacier is known as the world's largest glacier because it is the longest and one of the most voluminous ...
