A powerful natural event unfolded in Alaska as a massive glacier dramatically collapsed into the sea during a striking ...

Satellite images show that the world's fastest moving glacier lost a piece of ice measuring nearly 5 square miles over two days. Scientists say it is one of the most significant calving events on ...

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 ...

When the edge of a Greenland glacier breaks off into the sea to become an iceberg, can a global seismic network "hear" it? The answer is yes—but only if the event is a large one. And it helps to pair ...

Petermann Glacier is one of Greenland’s largest glaciers. In 2012, a “tongue” of ice broke off – releasing an iceberg about the size of Manhattan. Dubbed PII-2012, the giant iceberg measured ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

Cracks in the floating ice tongue of Petermann Glacier in the far northwest reaches of Greenland indicate the pending loss of another large iceberg. Cracks in the floating ice tongue of Petermann ...
