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 ...

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 ...

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK -- A slurry of rocks and mud sounded like a freight train when it ripped through a popular Mount Rainier hiking destination in 2001 and scared some television viewers who ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rock glaciers, characterized by a rocky active layer insulating a deforming, ice-rich core, are an often-overlooked component of the cryosphere in alpine watersheds. Ablation of the underlying icy ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have long known that glaciers are melting and contributing significantly to sea level rise. What’s not fully understood, however, is the complex ways they are moving deep within, a process ...
