As Arctic temperatures rise, marine-terminating glaciers—especially in places like Svalbard—are undergoing rapid retreat and ...

the average glacier retreat rate is accelerating. Gangju La glacier is a benchmark glacier (glacier recognised for long-term study) at the headwater of Pho chhu with a surface area of 0.2013km2 and a ...

Austria and Italy's border was drawn in 1919, after the countries fought a high-altitude war. Mountain ridges define parts of ...

The findings show the world’s tropical regions have already warmed past limits last seen at the outset of the Holocene age. Scientists have predicted glaciers would melt, or retreat, as temperatures ...

He said work is being done to slow down the retreat of glaciers, though it won’t be “decisive” in saving them. “But after the glaciers (melt) not everything is lost,” Bosson said in an ...

This event will focus on the high-risk area of cryosphere melting and glacier retreat, highlighting its impacts and the IAEA's efforts, particularly, isotope hydrology role in addressing this issue in ...

The orange line shows the probability of different glacier retreats without any change in the climate. The purple bar marks the observed retreat of the European glaciers included in the study.

Auckland’s extreme drought and the rapid retreat of glaciers in the Southern Alps both highlight how important long-term observations are for water management policy and planning. New research ...

Two hundred years ago, the area was covered by a glacier more than 4,000 feet thick that extended more than 100 miles to the St. Elias Mountain Range. By the 20th century, it had drawn back 65 miles ...
