Wandering icebergs could trigger tsunamis
Icebergs aren't just a threat to unsinkable ships. Their ability to cause underwater landslides poses a danger to coastal cities.
‘A world with no ice’: Confronting the horrors of climate change
The complacent majority needs to step up and call for action on climate change.
The mystery of moving, mossy, ‘glacier mice’
Atop certain glaciers are herds of small mossy balls that somehow move together when no one's looking.
An Alaskan landslide is imminent and so is its tsunami, say geologists
An open letter predicts that a massive wall of rock is about to plunge into Barry Arm Fjord in Alaska.
North Atlantic Current could stop within the next century
New research suggests the ocean current that delivers warm water to Europe has a one-in-six chance of halting temporarily over the next hundred years, potentially resulting in freezing temperatures.
Ice sheet collapse: The greatest unknown in climate science
The ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are remnants of the ice age. They're also the wild cards of climate science.
Greenland’s ice: A trip back in time to see the future of climate change
There are clues to the future and past trapped in Greenland's ice.
Greenland loses 4 trillion pounds of ice in one day
Normally, the landscape in this photo would be a white ice sheet.
Climate change melts Mount Everest’s ice, exposing dead bodies of past climbers

No particle we know of can explain what's going on.
Man-Made Glaciers May Be Himalayan Farmers’ Last Resort
The European Geosciences Union predicts that over 70% of glacier volume in the Everest region could be lost by 2100. One man has engineered a solution so that life in these regions can go on.
