Most of the frozen water has vanished because glaciers have been flowing faster into the ocean, rather than because of ...

Back in 1959, the U.S. Army built a secret base under Greenland’s ice sheet. Officially presented as a scientific research ...

For decades, Arctic sea ice has been melting earlier in spring and freezing later in fall, extending the melt season and ...

Rising temperatures of the world's oceans threaten to accelerate the melting and splintering of glaciers—thereby potentially increasing the number of icebergs and, with it, the need to better ...

The Arctic sea ice melt season is roughly 40 days longer than it was in 1979, yet its rapid expansion unexpectedly leveled off around 2010. Scientists say changing clouds and increasingly thin ice may ...

Ice and its changes are an important part of the water cycle. In this activity, we’ll watch the melting of ice at different temperatures and in different conditions. Safety First! Read the Science ...

Each summer, a natural reservoir that’s formed along the edge of the Mendenhall Glacier fills with water from melting ice.

Add to the long list of global warming concerns that melting ice caps could trigger more volcanic eruptions. Worse, researchers said Monday at a scientific conference in Prague, the increasing ...
