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 ...

A decade-long global glacier-speed map reveals that meltwater makes glaciers flow faster in summer and slower in winter.

Detailed study of a Greenland glacier's flow rate reveals the impact of environmental conditions. Even though 'glacial' is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has ...

Across Europe and around the world, melting glaciers are reshaping landscapes and climate systems. Researchers Elzė Buslavičiūtė and Dr. Laurynas Jukna from the Institute of Geosciences at the Faculty ...

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State University’s Neal Iverson and an international team of researchers are working to help quantify the single biggest uncertainty in predicting how much glaciers will contribute ...
