The floods that slammed into two hydroelectric plants and damaged villages in northern India were set off by a break on a Himalayan glacier upstream. Here’s a look at how glaciers and glacial… ...

Glaciers are vanishing faster than expected across parts of North America and Europe, and the rate of loss is speeding up. A ...

They're icy features that shape our surface world! Here's how glaciers form and melt and form again. 🧊 ...

Rock glaciers everywhere — at least in the Colorado Rockies. New research from Robert and Suzanne Anderson investigates how they formed, and what benefits they might provide for alpine ecosystems.

So really it’s two parts of the same story, but seen differently. On the science side, Knight summarizes how glaciers form and what they do over the course of their lifespans.

University of Alabama professor Rebecca Totten shows how glaciers grow and recede as part of the cycles of Earth's geological history.

Meltwater lakes forming at the head of glaciers are causing them to shrink faster, which will affect the flow of big rivers that supply millions of people downstream in Asia.

About 20,000 years ago, those ice sheets began to melt rapidly, and the resulting water had to go somewhere — often, underneath the glaciers. Over time, massive valleys formed underneath the ice ...
