These ancient cores may contain clues about an unexplained change in Earth’s glacial-interglacial cycles, and could shed ...

Across Europe and around the world, melting glaciers are reshaping landscapes and climate systems. Researchers Elzė ...

Climate change is likely to have an explosive consequence: volcanic eruptions. Antarctic glaciers have been slowly melting as ...

Climate and Environment Earth is now losing 1.2 trillion tons of ice each year. And it’s going to get worse. Ice is melting faster worldwide, with greater sea-level rise anticipated, studies show.

Scientists found 12,000-year-old glacier ice in the Alps, revealing new details about Europe’s climate history and human ...

Antarctic's ice sheet is melting 6 times faster than in 1979 03:23. These issues have made it particularly difficult to produce model simulations of how ice sheets will respond to climate change ...

Earth’s frozen places — ice sheets, glaciers and permafrost — are melting: a clear sign of climate change and a planet quickly exiting the stable state that gave rise to human civilization.

Humanity's activities and climate change are impacting the polar ice sheets, causing excessive melting, and this is slowing Earth's rotation, challenging official timekeeping standards.

The mechanics of polar ice-sheet melting were so confusing that the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment simply didn’t include ice loss estimates in its attempt to model ...

This could result in the ice melting more slowly, or even building up more ice. The study is clear, however, that while this could slow down the negative aspects of climate change predictions, it ...

A new study finds Greenland has seen its warmest temperatures in last 1,000 years, which is causing the ice sheet to melt. Here's why that matters.

A typical headline: “Greenland ice sheet on course to lose ice at fastest rate in 12,000 years.” With an area of 660,000 square miles and a thickness up to 1.9 miles, Greenland’s ice sheet ...
