Glacier Melting

Experts say warmer temperatures across the Alps are accelerating glacier melt and thawing permafrost, the year-round ice that binds together giant slabs of rock.

The scientists predict that Thwaites Glacier and the Antarctic Ice Sheet could collapse within the next 200 years.

Recent research on the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica shows alarming rates of melting that could significantly impact global sea levels. Scientists from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, including Rob Larter and Kiya Riverman, discovered that Thwaites’ retreat may lead to a rise of up to 10 feet in sea levels, threatening coastal ...

Researchers have unearthed nearly 1,700 ancient virus species hidden within the glacial ice of the Himalayas, a new study has found.

Snow disappeared completely for the first time ever from Uttarkahand's Om Parvat last week, leaving visitors wondering what was wrong.

Scientists have reconstructed the past life of Antarctica's "Doomsday Glacier" and discovered how it started retreating rapidly in the 1940s.

The study revealed that the Greenland ice sheet has lost approximately 5,000 square kilometers of ice at its edges since 1985, equivalent to a trillion tons of ice.

The largest floating ice shelves in the polar ice sheet have lost more than a third of their volume since 1978.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the world Monday to "stop the madness" of climate change as he visited Himalayan regions struggling from rapidly melting glaciers to witness the devastating impact of the phenomenon.

A melting glacier in the Swiss Alps has revealed the body of a mountain climber who went missing 37 years ago.

Accelerated melting of the Himalayan Parkachik Glacier in Ladakh could give rise to three glacial lakes with an average depth ranging between 34 and 84 metres, scientists have found.

Seven families were evacuated from Kholaksa, located about 3 km from Losar in Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh, following flooding due to melting of a glacier. However, no casualty was reported.

The authors estimate that the reduced anthropogenic pollutant emissions during the Indian lockdown was responsible for 71.6 per cent of the reduction in radiative forcing on snow in April 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

Rapidly melting glaciers in Asia's Hindu Kush Himalayan region home to the world's highest mountains are threatening the lives and livelihoods of as many as two billion people downstream, according to a new study.
