The speed at which glaciers move changes predictably each year, according to the first-ever global map of how glacier and ice sheet speeds vary with the seasons. Knowing this yearly rhythm could help ...

Glaciers of carbon dioxide are moving, creating deposits kilometers thick today across the south polar region of Mars, something that could have been going on more than 600,000 years, a paper by ...

There's always a moment of intense isolation when Jessica Mejía gets dropped off on the Greenland ice sheet for a multi-week research stint. "You know you're very much alone," says Mejía, a ...

On the slopes of Martian mountains and craters clings what appears to be flowing honey, coated in dust and frozen in time. In reality, these features are incredibly slow-moving glaciers, and their ...

An international research team has shown that avalanches are crucial to the survival of many glaciers worldwide. The study aims to contribute to better predictions of water resources and natural ...

The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are highly vulnerable to global warming and scientists are being increasingly worried ...

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.

Models of sea level rise based on our understanding of how Earth's ice sheets respond to a warming atmosphere could be incorrect, a new study has found. This could have significant implications for ...

A new velocity map which has captured Antarctica's glaciers in motion will help scientists to work out just how much the frozen continent is contributing to the rise in global sea levels. A joint NASA ...
