Glaciers like these provide drinking water to communities during their dry seasons. As they melt, this water supply dwindles and lost ice causes seas to rise. In 1971, researchers made a ...

Meltwaters are most acidified, and most laden with heavy metals, in the high Andes, where the glaciers are actively melting. Indigenous villages at these elevations are the most vulnerable ...

Scientists have proposed radical plan to stop a massive Antarctic glacier from melting that would cause catastrophic flooding along the US East Coast. They suggested installing a giant underwater ...

Troch and his colleagues found that increased snowfall would continue to protect the glaciers from melt if regional warming was curbed at 1.5 degrees Celsius above turn-of-the-century levels.

In parts of Alaska, melting glaciers are giving way to water. As these massive ice formations thin and retreat, meltwater pools at their edges, creating what are known as proglacial lakes. Mauri Pelto ...
