AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...

Models of glacial flow and retreat rely on estimates of glacial ice viscosity, the measure of the ice's resistance to flow.

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 ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Most of the news regarding the Thwaites Glacier, a Florida-sized slab of ice that is melting and currently contributing about 4 percent of global sea level rise, is bad. But a bit of ...

LANZHOU -- Facing the acceleration of glacier flow within the Antarctic Peninsula, a group of Chinese researchers has figured ...

A glacier's flow depends on how microscopic defects move through the ice, according to new research that also yielded a new model for predicting how glaciers will flow, ultimately contributing to ...

A NASA-led, international study finds Asia’s high mountain glaciers are flowing more slowly in response to widespread ice loss, affecting freshwater availability downstream in India, Pakistan and ...

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 ...

Warmer air and sea temperatures have led to the loss of around 264 gigatons of ice every year in Greenland since 2002 causing sea levels to rise by 0.8 millimetres annually. But a new study by the ...

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 ...
