A new study suggests glaciers carved metals out from the Earth’s surface 700 million years ago, leading to chemical reactions ...

When mountain permafrost thaws and glaciers melt, glacial lakes can become lethal flood risks for anyone downstream.

In response to the UN declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation and UN Decade of Action for Cryospheric Research (2025–2034), an international team of glacier scientists ...
