As concerns over drinking water contaminants such as PFAS, lead, microplastics, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other ...

Globally, temperatures are on the rise. Between the years of 2009 and 2019, glaciers around the world lost an average of about 275 gigatonnes (Gt) of ice every year. While we know all that melting ice ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

What processes are responsible for the rate of glacier erosion across the world, and could it be more than one process? This is what a recent study published in Nature Geoscience hopes to address as a ...

Glaciers contain priceless information about the Earth’s climate history. Ice Memory Foundation is leading a project to preserve pieces of these glaciers before rising temperatures erase them.

This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 times ...

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 ...
