Melting on the Antarctic Ice Sheet for the 2024 to 2025 season began with above average melt extents in all regions, but melt ...

More freezing rain was expected in regions north of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec than those south of the river. “The ...

For the first time, scientists have captured detailed measurements of water vapor high above Greenland’s vast ice sheet.

Sea ice plays many important roles for the global climate: Its white surface can reflect energy back into space, helping the ...

Researchers found increased meltwater and rain explain 60% of a decades-long mismatch between predicted and observed temperatures in the ocean around Antarctica.

PG&E, which is dependent on the snow melt to help generate hydro-electricity around the state of California, conducted the ...

SALT LAKE CITY — As temperatures saw a quick warmup into the low 70s Tuesday, deputies were cautioning those headed to the outdoors about multiple potential hazards posed by melting ice and snow.

Today, most of the remaining water on the surface is largely confined to its polar regions in the form of ice caps, permafrost, and subsurface glaciers. Nevertheless, the seasonal melting and ...

To make matters worse, NASA scientists also discovered that, this year, summer ice in the Antarctic retreated to 764,000 square miles (1.98 million square kilometers) as of March 1, tying for "the ...

During the day, temperatures punch above freezing while, at night, the mercury plummets. This causes the snow surface to melt and freeze repeatedly, creating corn snow. As you might expect, corn snow ...

The researchers discovered that freshwater inputs along the coast from melting ice sheets exert surprisingly strong influence on Southern Ocean surface temperatures and the broader climate system.

Scientists have some wild ideas to slow sea-level rise caused by melting ice. Glaciers generally move so slowly you can’t see their progress with the naked eye. (Their pace is … glacial.) ...
