Warmer air makes glaciers speed up more and reach peak speed earlier each year, showing temperature strongly controls how ice moves.

NASA has uncovered surprising seasonal variations in glacier movement, offering crucial insights into how they respond to ...

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet covers some 760,000 square miles and is up to 1.2 miles thick. If it were to ever melt away entirely, it would add 10 feet to global sea levels. Even considering how ...

A new study finds that New England is among the fastest-warming places on the planet, and the pace of warming and snow loss ...

While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have ...
