By Dr Alex Clark Why Ireland? Ice sheets provide valuable clues on how they behaved thousands of years in the past through the dramatic landscapes they create. And you may struggle to find a more elab...

1 million extra people will be exposed to coastal flooding in the UK by 2100 due to sea-level rise. Under a plausible worst-case scenario this rises to 13 million by 2300, but most of this risk can be...

Retreating ice sheets leave behind rich landform records which can be used to understand glaciological processes and the responses of ice sheets to wa…

The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats...

Melting ice from the Himalayas is creating thousands of unstable lakes, a growing menace to towns and cities below.

The goal is hotter and sooner than most official previous advice, and is a nod to the high chance of breaching the ambitious Paris Agreement limit. National advisers on the Climate Change Committee ho...

The eight-year University Research Fellowship from The Royal Society will focus on poorly understood water-ice glaciers on Mars, which contain archives of martian climate information and could inform ...

Fossil-fuel burning is heating the planet with catastrophic consequences for its habitability and for the natural world on which our existence depends. Halti...

Mountain Stability in the Mont Blanc Massif -  Summer 2022 What follows is a summary of a discussion/Q&A that was organised by IFMGA guide Martin Elias on behalf of Chamonix Experience in early August...

Raised shorelines provide important constraints on past sea levels, glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), and rates and directions of vertical crustal motion. Although most raised shorelines across NW ....

When ice gets trapped on land as giant ice sheets, it causes the sea level to change, but it doesn’t change by the same amount all around the planet.

The goal of limiting warming to 1.5C is too high to avoid continued sea-level rise, scientists warn.

Glacial erratics are geologically distinctive rocks transported away from their source area by ice sheets and deposited in lithologically different bedrock areas. They have attracted much scientific ...

We have mapped a 60 km long, 30 km wide, 120 m deep buried glacially eroded trough on the North Sea Plateau, west of the Norwegian Channel (59°N, 3°E). The trough was carved out by an ice stream that....
