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

The resulting data could lead to more accurate models of temperate glacier ice and better predictions of glacier flow and sea-level rise. Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when ...

Students will learn about the physical relationships between glacier size, climate and climate change; glacier motion and its environmental controls; the functioning of glaciers as dynamic ...

Detailed study of a Greenland glacier's flow rate reveals the impact ... understanding the physical processes controlling glacial motion, but studies are sparse for Greenlandic tidewater glaciers ...
