We have a chance now to not only batten down the hatches but save millions from being swept away by flooding – but we must ...

The Antarctic Slope Current shields Antarctica from warm waters. But new research shows meltwater is speeding up the current, ...

Their study, published in Nature Geoscience, shows how individual flood events influence the melting of the ice. In the autumn of 2021, an international team of researchers from New Zealand's ...

Faster ice sheet melting could bring greater flooding sooner than expected to coastal communities along the U.S. East Coast, where they're already seeing more high tide flood days along the shore ...

Languages: English. National Weather Service (NWS) meteorologists in Anchorage, Alaska, are warning of floods as above-normal winter temperatures contribute to ice melt. Average high temperatures ...

Heavy rain on Wednesday, combined with the melting snowpack, could lead to flooding. This excessive run-off could lead to flooding in poor drainage, low-lying, and flood-prone areas. Ice jam ...

Many people living in the Himalayas, Andes, Alps, Rocky Mountains, Iceland, and Alaska have experienced glacial lake outburst floods of one type or another. Water from the melting ice often drains ...

Melting ice flooded into the oceans, and sea levels worldwide rose by an average of around 1 centimeter per year. The scientists discovered that this global thaw may have also had unexpected ...

Fresh water from melting Antarctic ice is diluting the ocean’s salt levels, potentially disrupting the vital Antarctic Circumpolar Current, with profound global consequences. Flowing clockwise around ...

Rain and snowmelt will increase the likelihood for ice to block a river’s flow, causing water levels to rise and flooding downstream, forecasters say. There might be some minor river flooding in ...

They drilled a 500-metre-deep hole through the Antarctic ice sheet until they reached water. They were able to film the watercourse beneath the ice and analyse its properties. These subglacial ...
