Ancient ecosystem uncovered beneath Antarctic glacier collapse
Scientists uncover a thriving ecosystem beneath an Antarctic glacier, revealing corals, octopuses, and giant sea spiders untouched for centuries.
Glaciers have lost 9,000 billion tons since 1975
Greenland’s glaciers are melting faster than anyone expected - study
Ancient 'time-traveling' pathogens could threaten humanity - study
Oceans are heating up as El Niño weather patterns return
The climate phenomenon known as "El Niño" has caused oceans to reach the highest temperatures in recorded history.
Iceberg twice the size of New York City breaks free from Antarctica
Despite the fact that climate change is indeed a very real and growing problem and does impact Antarctica, it has nothing to do with this iceberg.
Antarctic melting, major sea level rise is 'not inevitable' - study
Melting of the Antarctic ice cap is contributing to globally rising ocean levels. However, scientists have noticed that the rate of ice loss in one glacial section has slowed.
Scientists uncover another reason for melting of Antarctic glaciers - study
Researchers from the University of East Anglia found that adjacent ice shelves contribute to instability in other ice shelves downstream.
Researchers find way to predict how much Florida-sized doomsday glacier will melt
It is estimated that the complete loss of the glacier and surrounding ice basins would raise the sea level from three to 10 feet.
Glacial archaeologists find arrow in melting ice
The arrow was found between loose stones, likely transported from further up the slope as the snow melted and the water trickled down the mountain.
Tons of greenhouse gases released due to thawing permafrost-study
From the desert to Alaska, a considerable amount of greenhouse gas is being produced and released into the atmosphere due to rapidly thawing permafrost.
Man-made climate change cost Mt. Everest 2,000 years of ice in 25 years - study
The declining glacier will make Mount Everest climbers have to overcome bedrock, but it could also spell bad news for the 1 billion people who depend on it for water.
Himalayan glaciers melting at unprecedented rate, threaten region's water supply- study
A new study examining the ice loss of the Himalayan glaciers since the Little Ice Age has shown that they are melting at an unprecedented rate in comparison to the previous seven centuries.
As climate changes, study finds world's glaciers melting faster
Glaciers lost 227 gigatonnes of ice annually from 2000 to 2004, but that increased to an average of 298 gigatonnes each year after 2015.
Long-forgotten Viking mountain pass found in Norway following glacier melt
Due to global warming, high-elevation ice patches and glaciers have recently yielded a myriad of historical finds for archaeologists to discover.
