In a new study published in the journal The Cryosphere, researchers from England's University of Leeds found that one West Antarctic glacier has been engaging in "ice piracy," essentially bulking ...

A glacier in Antarctica is committing 'ice piracy' -- stealing ice from a neighbor -- in a phenomenon that has never been observed in such a short time frame, say scientists.

A collapsing glacier destroyed a Swiss village. Is climate change to blame? The natural disaster shows a volatile combination of climate change effects, fragile natural environments and human ...

That's the sound of water seeping from a sunbaked and slushy Swiss glacier that geoscientists are monitoring for signs of continued retreat by the majestic masses of ice under the heat of global ...

Swiss glacier collapse renews focus on risks of climate change as glaciers retreat around the world Climate change is playing a role in almost every glacier collapse nowadays.

Europe Glacier collapses, burying nearly all of Swiss Alpine village “We have lost our village,” the mayor of Blatten said after the glacier’s explosive collapse covered it in ice, rock and mud.

A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius ...

PERITO MORENO GLACIER, Argentina — The deep cracking sound bursting from within the ice signals the dramatic fall about to happen. Seconds later, a block of ice some 70 meters (230 ft) tall ...

A new Science study warns that if temperatures rise to 2.7°C by 2100, only 24% of glacier mass would remain, contributing over nine inches to sea-level rise. Even with no further warming, 39% of ...

That's the sound of water seeping from a sunbaked and slushy Swiss glacier that geoscientists are monitoring for signs of continued retreat by the majestic masses of ice under the heat of global ...

Seconds later, a block of ice some 70 meters (230 ft) tall - the size of a 20-story building - collapses from the face of the Perito Moreno glacier into the aquamarine water below.

If we manage to limit global warming to +1.5°C instead of +2.7°C, we could still save twice as much glacier ice.” Current policies are projected to lead to an average global warming of around +2.7°C.
