Around 10,000 years ago, as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading ...

New geochemical evidence points to the color change resulting from red Australian desert dust carried across the Tasman Sea.

I knew, or at least hoped, it would melt her heart." While the family wanted to prepare the toddler for the new arrival, they knew there were limits to a 2-year-old's comprehension. "We talked to ...

The latest expert research has revealed that glaciers are disappearing at an alarming rate. Since the turn of the century, they have lost more than 6,500 billion tonnes – or 5 per cent – of their ice.

Some sites had elevated concentrations of harmful trace elements like As and U from glacier melt or groundwater. Longitudinal (upstream to downstream) variability was apparent within each river, with ...

Glacial melting in the Northern Hemisphere has intensified during the first two decades of the 21st century. About 85% of tidewater glaciers have noticeably retreated, leading to the formation of ...

However, as the planet's ice sheets and glaciers melt, this is causing a more rapid redistribution of weight than scientists have observed in the past, which is causing the pole to shift.

Beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet lies a hidden network of lakes and rivers formed by surface meltwater and frictional melting at the glacier base. This subglacial water acts as a lubricant, ...

Melting glaciers are a key indicator of the human-influenced changes to our climate. A recent study shows just how quickly glaciers are melting. An international team of researchers from the Glacier ...

Melting glaciers in the Norwegian mountains have led to a startling discovery of a prehistoric pair of skis estimated to be some 1,300-year-old. Researchers from the Secrets of the Ice archaeology ...
