Glacial records worldwide increasingly indicate that mountain glaciers and parts of continental ice sheets reached their maximum extents asynchronously

Abstract. We present a comprehensive and quality-controlled chronological database for past glacier, relative sea level, and paleoclimate changes in Iceland during the Late Quaternary: ICEland-1. The ...

Scientific Data - Mountain glacier extents at the Last Glacial Maximum

Abstract. Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change yields Charney (fast-feedback) equilibrium climate sensitivity 1.2 ± 0.3°

We present a 25-stage reconstruction of the ice-flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway...

Even if net-zero emissions are reached well before 2100, West Antarctic ice-sheet retreat could still drive multi-meter sea-level rise by 2300. Emission reductions in the coming years are critical to ...

Underwater curtains and artificial ice thickening divert attention from cutting fossil fuel use, says group of climate scientists

Les orages supercellulaires, très rares mais dévastateurs, pourraient augmenter en Europe avec le changement climatique. Une nouvelle étude montre qu’un climat plus chaud de 3 °C suffirait à accroître...

Professor Bethan Davies has been selected as a lead author for the forthcoming Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Report 7.

This study provides a continent-wide assessment of surface meltwater area in Antarctica between 2006 and 2021, highlighting recent increases in magnitude and variability in East Antarctica, with indic...

Des scientifiques de l’UNIL ont réalisé une maquette de visualisation 3D unique, qui montre l’évolution de la couverture glaciaire en Suisse depuis la dernière grande glaciation, et jusque dans un fut...

The collapse of Birch Glacier and the devastating landslide that impacted the Swiss village of Blatten occurred as a result of supraglacial landslides.

Warming of +1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels is too high for the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, and even the current climate forcing of +1.2 °C is likely to lead to several meters of sea-level ...

Hidden water beneath Antarctica’s ice can accelerate ice loss, potentially raising sea levels by over 2 meters by 2300. These findings highlight the urgent need to incorporate evolving subglacial hydr...

Sea salt data from an ice core record show that Antarctica’s Ronne Ice Shelf survived the last interglacial, the last period of enhanced and sustained global warmth about 125,000 years ago.

This study employs a physics-informed AI model to reconstruct the last glaciation of the European Alps with high accuracy. The approach reduces ice thickness errors by 200–450%, yielding insights into...
