Greenland is melting rapidly, but some glaciers are disappearing faster than others. A new map of the surrounding seafloor helps explain why: Many of the fastest-melting glaciers sit atop deep fjords ...

Many large glaciers in Greenland are at greater risk of melting from below than previously thought, according to new maps of the seafloor around Greenland created by an international research team.

The speed at which glaciers move changes predictably each year, according to the first-ever global map of how glacier and ice sheet speeds vary with the seasons. Knowing this yearly rhythm could help ...

Sea levels are rising steadily each year as the planet warms. Melting ice could collapse suddenly, raising sea levels abruptly. These melting glaciers and ice sheets are the ones scientists are ...

A new global study predicts when the world’s glaciers will vanish and shows how warming levels shape their survival.

Glaciers are one of the largest reservoirs of freshwater on our planet, and their melting or growing is one of the best indicators of climate change. However, knowledge of glacier change has been ...

New technology can give scientists a closer look at glaciers — but there aren’t many left. Early last century, there were an estimated 150 glaciers — ice bodies larger than 25 acres — in Glacier ...

If you’ve ever looked at a world map and thought it was set in stone, think again. Glaciers around the globe are melting at an alarming rate, and it’s not just causing sea levels to rise—it’s actually ...

Nestled between the Arctic and Atlantic oceans is Greenland, a slab of ice and rock that has caused more controversy than one might expect from the least densely populated country in thew world. For a ...

Just eight of those 30x30-meter pixel points on Glacier’s wilderness character map are in the “least optimal” category. They are all in places such as the Going-to-the- Sun Road corridor, the road ...
