Rising Sea Surface Temperatures The steady warming of our oceans is akin to placing our planet on a simmering stove. Sea ...
Climatologists say that thanks to the high resolution of satellites on these maps, it is possible to analyze objects several meters across and determine their approximate volume and shape ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...
Crevasses are widening faster as meltwater drives fissures deeper into the ice and lubricates the base of glaciers, ...
A new large-scale study of crevasses on the Greenland Ice Sheet shows that those cracks are widening faster as the climate ...
The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.
Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures or cracks that open in glaciers where ice begins to flow faster. The research team says that crevasses are also getting bigger and deeper where ice is flowing more ...
The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...
Even though "glacial" is commonly used to describe extremely slow, steady movement, a new study has found that glaciers speed ...
