SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) – Police in Chile say they’ve stopped cold a scheme to steal ice from a disappearing glacier. The plan was to deliver five tons of ice carved out of icebergs from the Jorge Montt ...

How might we prevent sea-level rise? Satellite-based radar, solar-powered drones, robot submarines and lab-based ‘artificial glaciers’ could all play a role ...

A meltwater lake that formed in the mid-1990s on Greenland’s 79°N Glacier has been draining in sudden, dramatic bursts ...

Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published in the journal Science. Add a dash of creamer to your ...

Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate. As this cold fresh water from glacier melt enters lakes and oceans, it can have a big effect on how the water behaves — and on the fish, mammals, and other ...

The Perito Moreno glacier in Argentina was previously considered stable. What was once considered the most stable glacier in the Patagonia region is experiencing ice loss at rates far greater than ...

AMES, Iowa – Neal Iverson started with two lessons in ice physics when asked to describe a research paper about glacier ice flow that has just been published by the journal Science. First, said the ...

Laboratory experiments designed to deform ice at its pressure-melting temperature were like grabbing a bagel at the top and the bottom, then twisting the two halves to smear the cream cheese in the ...

This polarized light image shows ice grains deformed in experiments with the ring-shear device in Neal Iverson's Iowa State laboratory. The experiments show that grains, on average, grow about 3 times ...
