Models produced by climate scientists in the 2000s suggested that the masses of ice that gave Glacier National Park its name ...

Earth's valleys tell an ancient story of ice and power. Over millions of years, massive glaciers have carved, sculpted, and transformed the landscape in ways that still take researchers' breath away.

A new study analyzing a lake formed by a glacier surge in the Karakoram Mountains has revealed how satellite images can be used to monitor the potential for lake drainage hazards. New research has ...

Boston, Mass. – Glacial deposits that formed on tropical land areas during snowball Earth episodes around 600 million years ago, lead to questions about how the glaciers that left the deposits were ...

There are glaciers on every continent in the world (except Australia!), but they're disappearing slowly due to human caused climate change. They're much more important than you might realize to ...

20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum, hulking formations of flowing ice stretched across the Southern Rocky Mountains in present-day Colorado. Most of those glaciers melted away by around ...

The Alpine glaciers formation is in a strong negative phase globally. Passu Glacier in Gojal Hunza is retreating rapidly. The Alpine glaciers and the continental ice sheets in the polar regions have ...

Glaciers are awe-inspiring geological formations that have defined landscapes all over the world, including Colorado. A glacier is formed when snow accumulates for many years until thick ice is formed ...

New research documents the fastest-known large-scale breakage along an Antarctic ice shelf. A 6.5-mile crack formed in 2012 over 5-and-a-half minutes, showing that ice shelves can effectively shatter ...

Since the mid-1990s, the Greenland ice sheet has been losing mass, leaving only three floating tongues remaining. One of these, Nioghalvfjerdsbræ or the 79°N Glacier, is already showing the first ...

Few ski areas are as visually iconic as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming. Situated at one end of the Teton range, Rendezvous Peak drops more than 4,000 feet to the valley's floor, scaled in part ...

New research has tracked the evolution of a glacier lake dammed by a surge using satellite images, to help better understand its life cycle and the hazard it presents to nearby communities. During ...
