Sediments in a lagoon near Darwin hold traces of changes to monsoonal rains over 150,000 years. Here’s what it means as Earth ...

New research from the Chilean Patagonia has identified a link between glacial retreat and underground volcanic activity ...

Glaciers tend to suppress the volume of eruptions from the volcanoes beneath them. But as glaciers retreat due to climate change, our findings suggest these volcanoes go on to erupt more frequently ...

Retired National Park Service geologist Jon Riedel told The News Tribune, "The trends were clear at Mount Rainier: that the ...

In 2022, an international team of scientists sent a 20-foot-long autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) named “Ran” to traverse ...

Several of Mount Rainier’s glaciers are already gone, experts say, and others aren’t far behind. The News Tribune asked what that means for visitors.

Glaciers around the world are now melting at twice the rate measured just two decades ago. Between 2000 and 2023, they lost an ice mass equivalent to 46,000 Great Pyramids of Giza.

Melting glaciers across the U.S. are rapidly altering river systems, reducing freshwater flow and threatening long-term water supplies for agriculture, cities, and ecosystems—marking a critical ...

Around 10,000 years ago as the last Ice Age drew to a close, the drifting of the continent of North America, and spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, may have temporarily sped up—with a little help from ...

Glaciers don’t just shape the landscape; they hold it in place. As these Arctic glaciers melt and retreat onto land, steep cliffs and slopes once supported by solid ice are left hanging.

In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe’s Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.
