Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern ...

The Fundamental Physics Behind Ice Calving Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ...

Antarctica’s so-called Doomsday Glacier, nicknamed because it is huge and coming apart, is mostly thwarting an international effort to figure out how dangerously vulnerable it is. A large iceberg ...

Glaciers could reach peak rates of disappearing in the coming decades due to global warming, according to new research.

In 2017, astrophysicists at the European Space Agency spotted something disturbing among satellite data collected by the agency's Copernicus mission: A Las Vegas-sized iceberg was breaking off the ...

A satellite view of the iceberg. The newly escaped B-22A iceberg is circled in red. An enormous iceberg that first broke off Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" more than 20 years ago is finally waving ...

Envisat has been observing a rare event in the Arctic since early August – a giant iceberg breaking off the Petermann glacier in North-West Greenland. The Petermann glacier is one of the largest ...

A massive iceberg larger than Manhattan has broken away from the floating end of a Greenland glacier this week, an event scientists predicted last autumn. The giant ice island is 46 square miles (120 ...

WASHINGTON - An iceberg twice the size of Manhattan tore off one of Greenland's largest glaciers, illustrating another dramatic change to the warming island. For several years, scientists had been ...

To estimate the amount of ice sloughing off glaciers and falling into rising seas, scientists may simply need to listen. New research finds that sound recordings can not only capture the timing of ...

A story about a glacier shedding mass at the edge of the world, threatening to raise ocean levels and potentially contribute to untold environmental change. Sound familiar? That’s because it probably ...
