On looking for an explanation of this phenomenon, it became at once evident that the experiment contained the germ of the explanation of glacier motion. Every time the water was frozen in the tube ...

These majestic landscapes have always been dangerous, but as the world warms, mountains are becoming much more unpredictable ...

The glacier already contributes 4% of sea level ... “Once an ice sheet retreat is set in motion it can continue for decades, even if what started it gets no worse,” he told CNN.

We could witness a major meltdown in the near future: Researchers have discovered that Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier is melting at a much faster rate than anticipated, which could cause seas to ...

What we are seeing with Thwaites Glacier right now is a disaster in slow motion. The bedrock under Thwaites Glacier sits below sea level and slopes downward going inland, so the glacier gets ...

Scientists with the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration ... the grounding line grow and develop over the course of this motion. “This melting that starts right at the grounding line ...

“It is long known that meltwater caused by high temperatures increase the pressure in the glaciers’ subglacial drainage system, which in turn can accelerate glacier motion,” said Farinotti ...
