Scientists are flocking to Iceland to investigate an increasingly crucial question: Will melting glaciers accelerate and intensify earthquakes and volcanic eruptions? William Brangham reports. PBS ...

Climate change is likely to have an explosive consequence: volcanic eruptions. Antarctic glaciers have been slowly melting as temperatures rise, unearthing hidden volcanoes in the process. The ...

A recent study published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters is the first to directly link earthquakes to climate change-induced glacial melt. Scientists analyzed 15 years of seismic activity in ...

Europe is the world’s fastest warming continent with temperatures there increasing at twice the average global rate. That is melting Europe's... The Effects of Melting Glaciers in Europe Europe is the ...

Pakistan's mountain communities are experiencing the devastating effects of accelerating glacial retreat, with rising temperatures transforming their water sources into unpredictable threats. Rapidly ...

A deadly wall of muddy water that swept away an Indian Himalayan town this week was likely caused by a rapidly melting glacier exacerbated by the rising effects of climate change, experts said on ...

High in the mountains, glaciers once kept their cool—literally. The massive ice bodies create their own cold microclimates that retard melting even as the rest of the planet warms. But an exhaustive ...

GENEVA (AP) — Switzerland’s glaciers have faced “enormous” melting this year with a 3% drop in total volume — the fourth-largest annual drop on record — due to the effects of global warming, top Swiss ...

Meltwater from a fast-retreating glacier in Alaska carries fewer nutrients than meltwater from a stable one nearby, according to a new study by scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, ...

MORTERATSCH, Switzerland — Almost 7,000 feet above sea level, the trail leading up to Morteratsch Glacier gets a little longer every year. Leo Hösli has made the climb many times. Each step sends ...
