Researchers have found that glacial erosion and melting ice caps both played a key role in driving the observed global increase in volcanic activity at the end of the last ice age. The combination of ...

SAN FRANCISCO — South of the Ft. Funston native plant nursery in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the air is full of the warbles of robins, thrushes and white-crowned sparrows. The birds ...

In the high latitudes, climate change projections must take a new factor into account: Ice. In the Arctic, the loss of sea ice is likely to have dramatic repercussions, including greater erosion, ...

St. Joseph, MI — Lake Michigan draws people every season for different activities and sights. That includes seeing shelf ice along the shoreline. But there's something different about this year's ice ...

The essence of topographic ice steering exists even in the basic equation of ice motion used in most first-order ice-sheet models: the vertically averaged ice speed () due to shear deformation of ...

Strong winds blowing off the Greenland Ice Sheet are eroding soil and vegetation in the surrounding tundra, making it less productive for caribou and other grazing animals, carbon storage and nutrient ...

North East Scotland is an area characterised by selective glacial erosion. In this study a steady-state maximum ice sheet model is used to calculate basal ice sheet temperatures for the bed of a ...

Winter has definitely arrived. Many might not like these frigid temperatures and snow, but communities along the shore of Lake Michigan are definitely smiling. In New Buffalo, Mother Nature has ...

GRAND HAVEN, MI – There is a lot of dredging work to be done in Lake Michigan harbors after an uptick in severe storms and a drop in shoreline ice during winter. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ...

Presque Isle State Park beaches are benefiting from winter ice, a dry spring and lower Lake Erie water levels. "What we've seen so far is encouraging," Matt Greene, park operations manager, said ...

Arctic permafrost is collapsing into the sea by as much as 100 feet (30 meters) a year in some places, new studies say. Since 2000, dozens of scientists have recorded an average annual erosion rate of ...

The combination of erosion and melting ice caps led to a massive increase in volcanic activity at the end of the last ice age, according to new research. As the climate warmed, the ice caps melted, ...
