Glacial retreat caused a wave of volcanic activity in southern Chile as the last Ice Age came to an end, according to new ...

“Failing to account for subglacial water means global sea-level rise projections are underestimated by up to two metres by 2300,” Dr Chen Zhao, an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow at the ...

Lava flows from the Bardarbunga volcano on August 31, 2014. Reuters. So it seems the greatest threat from Antarctica's many volcanoes will be if several erupt within a few decades of each other.

Mars is extremely cold, and for subglacial water to exist on the planet in the liquid form, there would have to be a source of heat, such as geothermal energy.

Gathering data on the biogeochemistry of these systems is an undertaking of Antarctic proportions. Trista Vick-Majors, assistant professor of Biological Sciences at Michigan Technological University, ...

Model input data: (a) bed topography and (b) ice thickness from BedMachine Antarctica v3.2 (Morlighem et al., 2020) used to initialize the subglacial hydrology model GlaDS.

On Earth, subglacial lakes affect the shape of the overlying ice sheet i.e. the surface topography. The water in subglacial lakes lowers friction between the ice sheet and its bed, ...

"Our knowledge of subglacial lacustrine environments has hinged largely on satellite measurements and radar mapping," Bell said, noting that the under-ice Lake Vostok – first suggested by Soviet ...

Iceland closed airspace over the Bardarbunga volcano as a precaution Saturday after the volcano began erupting under the ice of Europe's largest glacier. Authorities did not shut down airspace ...

Feb. 17 (UPI) --Life deep beneath Antarctica's ice sheets may be more common than previously thought. According to a study published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, subglacial lakes on ...
