This year's Arctic Report Card from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration finds that the northernmost part of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

In higher elevations, firn, frozen water that is something between snow and ice, covers the top of glaciers. Firn plays a critical role in regulating glacial meltwater and sea level rise. Subscribe to ...

A new global study predicts when the world’s glaciers will vanish and shows how warming levels shape their survival.

RHONE GLACIER, Switzerland (AP) -- Climate change appears to be making some of Switzerland's vaunted glaciers look like Swiss cheese: full of holes. Matthias Huss of the glacier monitoring group ...
