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 ...

How is melting a continent-sized ice sheet like stirring milk into coffee? Both are, for all practical purposes, irreversible. In a new study published in the Sept. 24 Nature, researchers outline a ...

Zachariæ Isstrøm is a giant glacier in the northeast of Greenland. It is one of the three main glaciers that feeds into the roughly 373-mile-long Northeast Greenland Ice Stream that drains 12 percent ...

Climate change is bad. Melting glaciers are also bad. However, both these things lead to something called “dead water.” From a nautical perspective, this is also bad because it stops a ship in the ...

On the heels of two rounds of winter blasts across the Midwest and East this week, heavy rain and severe storms Thursday threatened to hammer a stretch of the Southeast amid new concerns of flooding.

Climate change will lead to more unpredictable water levels in snow-dominated regions in the Northern Hemisphere as snow melts at accelerated paces because of warming temperatures, according to a ...

Every year an increasing amount of sea ice is melting in the Arctic. This can start a chain reaction, which leads to increased production of algae and hence more food for creatures in the sea. When ...

As microchips shrink, even tiny defects in the lines, dots and other shapes etched on them become major barriers to performance. Princeton engineers have now found a way to literally melt away such ...
