Seasonal changes in the forces that pull and push ice play a major role in when meltwater runs through glaciers and into the ocean.

Sea ice and mélange influence glacier dynamics directly through modulating calving, and indirectly through influencing ocean circulation Glacier responses to sea-ice change are influenced by loca...

Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences - Glaciers worldwide are undergoing accelerated down-wasting and retreat due to a warming climate, increasingly leading to the melt-out and exposure of...

Response of emperor penguins to 40 years of changing ice conditions at the Astrid, Mertz and SANAE colonies using satellite remote sensing (1984–2024)

We are delighted to announce that Professors Colm O’Cofaigh and Dave Roberts have been awarded the prestigious Polar Medal in the King’s New Year Honours list, which recognises outstanding achievem…

A new study led by Holly Wytiahlowsky of the Durham Glaciology Group has just been published, providing insight into glacier hydrology by producing the first inventory of supraglacial channels on m…

Abstract. Supraglacial channels form a key component of glacier hydrology, transporting surface meltwater to englacial and proglacial positions, which impacts ice flow dynamics, surface mass balance a...
