A Calvin junior was one of a team of students from several colleges who spent the summer researching the glacial geology of Minnesota and Brazil, a project funded by a National Science Foundation (NSF ...

We might be able to tell when a volcano is about to erupt with the help of another natural wonder: glaciers. Glaciers that are within 3 miles of a volcano appear to move nearly 50 percent faster than ...

Using satellite imagery to study the effects of a 2019 landslide on the Amalia Glacier in Patagonia, a research team found the landslide helped stabilize the glacier and caused it to grow by about ...

The ground beneath Antarctica's most vulnerable glacier has now been mapped, helping scientists to better understand how it is being affected by climate change. Analysis of the geology below the ...

Boulder, Colo., USA: In their new paper for the Geological Society of America journal Geology, Dulcinea Groff and colleagues used radiocarbon ages (kill dates) of previously ice-entombed dead black ...

Around 700 million years ago, Earth was a frozen, white sphere, its rocky surface buried kilometers under ice. Despite the barren landscape, the evolution of complex life in the oceans was about to ...

Brown University researchers have found compelling evidence of thick, recurring glaciers on Mars, a discovery that suggests that the Red Planet’s climate was much more dynamic than previously believed ...

In May 2023, the World Meteorological Organization called for more observations and research on the cryosphere — those areas where the Earth’s surface is covered by ice and snow. Greenland’s ice sheet ...

Kristine Crossen became fascinated with glaciers when she moved to Alaska in 1969. "I lived in the Alaskan bush, near the southern boundary of Denali National Park, from 1973 to 1975. The tall ...

A GOOD summary, in a convenient form, of what has been ascertained about North American glaciers, has been for some time a desideratum. Prof. I. C. Russell has supplied it in a volume of moderate size ...

A recent Colorado State University study published in the journal Geology demonstrates that climate change can affect the frequency of earthquakes, adding to a small but growing body of evidence ...
