Climate change may influence seismic activity as melting glaciers reduce pressure on quake-prone faults Southern Colorado’s ...

Polar ice sheets ... into glacial ice. Together, the Greenland and Antarctic Ice sheets hold more than 99% of Earth's land ice. Using a conceptual climate tipping model, scientists investigated ...

The findings have significant implications for understanding what drives earthquake activity and for assessing seismic risks.

an advanced climate model, to replicate conditions from the last glacial period. By expanding the ice-sheet model to cover a larger area of the Northern Hemisphere, they gained new insights into ...

Scientists have discovered 1-million-year-old glacial landforms beneath the North Sea, revealing how ice sheets and ocean ...

A recent Colorado State University study demonstrates that climate change can affect the frequency of earthquakes, adding to ...

Glaciers are large masses of frozen ice that move slowly downhill. As glaciers move, they wear away the surrounding land through erosion. Glaciers sometimes transport material over long distances ...

This is important because the timing of this ice advance corresponds to a period of global cooling called the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. Glacial landforms reveal how past ice sheets responded to ...

They used an equation that, when plugged into NASA's ice-sheet and sea-level system model, simulated glacial dynamics for the past six millenia. The results showed that precipitation, not ...
