To resolve the timing and tempo of LOME, the researchers conducted a comprehensive geochronological study. They used chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry zircon ...

The small village of Blatten in the Swiss Alps was largely destroyed by a landslide that occurred as a result of the partial collapse of the Birch Glacier on May 28, 2025.

Under these conditions, glaciers could lose up to 16 per cent more of their mass by 2200, compared to a world that never crosses the 1.5°C threshold, and 11 per cent more by 2500.

In 2024, the warmest year on record in Europe according to the EU's Copernicus system, Swedish and Norwegian glaciers melted by an average of 1.8 metres.

All 19 of the world's glacier regions experienced a net loss of mass in 2024 for the third consecutive year, the United Nations said on Friday, warning that saving the planet's glaciers was now a ...

A glacial outburst flood in Barun Valley started when nearly one-third of the face of Saldim Peak in Nepal fell onto Langmale Glacier and slid into a lake. The top image shows the mountain in 2016.

Glaciers in the Alps have lost more ice than any other region, shrinking by nearly 40 per cent since 2000. In the Middle East, New Zealand and western North America, glaciers have also seen ...

It’s the rate of melting and thinning that’s shifted dramatically. Research published in July in the peer-reviewed British journal Nature Communications, found the rates of glacier area ...

However, in areas where the parts of the glacier lift off the seabed and the ice begins to float, tidal action is pumping warmer sea water, at high pressure, as far as 10 kilometers under the ice.

When a Glacial Dam Burst, an Alaskan Town Was Hit With a Sudden Flood From Alaska to Peru and the Himalayas, glacial lakes are suddenly breaking free and causing deaths and millions of dollars in ...

Tropical glaciers melting to ‘unprecedented’ extent, study suggests Bedrock now exposed at the margins of four glaciers in the Andes Mountains has not seen the light of day since over 11,700 ...
