When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

For nearly a decade, Leigh Stearns and collaborators aimed a laser scanner system at Greenland's Helheim Glacier. Their long-running survey reveals that Helheim's massive calving events don't behave ...

This is a developing story. Update, 6:15 p.m. Thursday: A portion of the face of the Mendenhall Glacier collapsed into Mendenhall Lake on Thursday, prompting a further warning from the U.S. Forest ...

A massive chunk of ice -- larger than the city of Paris -- has broken off from the Arctic's largest ice shelf because of warmer temperatures in Greenland, scientists said Monday. The massive chunk ...

Scientists said earthquakes have been shaking the Antarctic’s Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday Glacier.

The calving was so drastic that it caused measurable earthquakes in the region. An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research ...

This figure shows the glacier front retreat rates between 1985 and 2023. The larger darker red circles indicate areas of greatest glacier loss. A new study has revealed the alarming extent glaciers ...
