A new discovery explains the quick melting under Greenland glaciers and suggests we may be underestimating the severity of sea level rise.
Greenland's glaciers are losing about 25 meters (around 82 feet) every year. That represents a fivefold increase during the past 20 years.
"...llamas, when managed by Indigenous herders, are accelerating soil fertility and plant succession."
Glaciers in Greenland may be melting as much as 100 times as fast as than previously thought, researchers report.
New research digs into rock glaciers on our home planet, but the findings could help scientists get a deeper understanding of Mars, too.
Mud from a lake high up in the Andes holds an incredible climate history. The find could shed light on how the climate will change in the future.
A new tool that uses lasers to measure glaciers is small enough to fit in a backpack and be carried up steep mountains.
A newly discovered city-size lake might contain a history of the world's largest ice sheet in East Antarctica since its earliest beginnings.
Air bubbles in Antarctic ice suggest that glacial erosion caused atmospheric oxygen levels to dip over the past 800,000 years.
The demise of West Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, one of the world's largest and most unstable glaciers, may not be as imminent as previously feared.
