A review of data showed that the Birch Glacier was a rarity in that it has been advancing while most glaciers have been ...

The ice in Antarctica is melting six times faster than it did 40 years ago, according to a new study. This acceleration of the ice loss is a clear indication of human-caused climate change, the ...

Earth’s frozen places — ice sheets, glaciers and permafrost — are melting: a clear sign of climate change and a planet quickly exiting the stable state that gave rise to human civilization.

Rapid melting of West Antarctica’s ice shelves may now be unavoidable as human-caused global warming accelerates, with potentially devastating implications for sea level rise around the world ...

As climate change accelerates the melting of glaciers and permafrost, hidden chapters of human history are suddenly coming to light. Sacred artifacts, long entombed in ice, are revealing stories ...

Greenland is experiencing its most significant melting event of the year as temperatures in the Arctic surge. The amount of ice that melted on Tuesday alone would be enough to cover the entire ...

Although anthropogenic climate change accounts for some of the melting, Arctic ice is disappearing much faster than climate change models predict it should. A new study in Nature Climate Change ...

It is intuitive to think melting ice would cool warming oceans. ... Politicians and environmentalists meet for the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 that runs until December 18.

“Climate change [means] we have to change our culture as a human race—not just how much carbon we take out of the air,” DeWitt said. “We have to return to being good stewards of the Earth.” Being good ...

Antarctic's ice sheet is melting 6 times faster than in 1979 03:23. These issues have made it particularly difficult to produce model simulations of how ice sheets will respond to climate change ...

What Arctic ice tells us about climate change. I went with scientists to a remote part of the Greenland ice sheet. Here’s what I learned, and why it matters for the rest of the world.

Rapid melting of West Antarctica’s ice shelves may now be unavoidable as human-caused global warming accelerates, with potentially devastating implications for sea level rise around the world ...
