Accurate projections of sea level rise require sophisticated models for glacier flow, but current approaches do a poor job capturing the physical processes that control how fast glaciers slide over ...

Even though "glacial" is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that glaciers speed ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Most of the news regarding the Thwaites Glacier, a Florida-sized slab of ice that is melting and currently contributing about 4 percent of global sea level rise, is bad. But a bit of ...

The glacier’s retreat has been ongoing, but scientists believe within a few years it will be separated from Mendenhall Lake.

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 ...

Detailed study of a Greenland glacier's flow rate reveals the impact of environmental conditions. Even though 'glacial' is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has ...
