The cloudy, sediment-laden meltwater from glaciers is a key source of nutrients for ocean life, but a new study suggests that ...
A wedge of sediment, pushed up by glacial movement, may be a buffer against moderate sea level rise, pointing to ocean temperature rise as the key factor in glacial retreat, according to two papers ...

As the planet warms, pathogens buried for millennia are more likely to re-enter the environment and potentially infect new species. reading time 3 minutes In the Canadian High Arctic, climate change ...
Increased warming in high-latitude wetlands seems poised to increase the activity of methanogens, or methane-producing ...
Observations at four glacier snouts on northwest Ellesmere Island are used to determine the nature of glacially thrusted masses and their role in glacial debris entrainment processes in a high ...
Large, marine-calving glaciers have the ability not only to shrink rapidly in response to global warming, but to grow at a remarkable pace during periods of global cooling, according to UB geologists ...
TACOMA, Wash. — The waters of Commencement Bay off the shores of Tacoma continue to be clouded by what is called “glacial flour” after extreme temperatures led to an increase in snowmelt in recent ...
A team of past and present INSTAAR researchers have reconstructed the history of Teton Glacier, Wyoming, by analyzing sediment from alpine lakes. Their work is documented in a new study published in ...
