Satellite images taken more than three decades apart show the disappearance of Iceland's Okjökull, the first glacier to be officially declared dead as a result of human-caused climate change.

Some of this change is the result of natural ice dynamics, but warmer water flowing up from the deep ocean speeds up the rate of melting. The comparison images that follow show significant changes ...

Antarctica as a whole is losing 130 billion tons of ice each year. This is the weight equivalent of 356,000 Empire State Buildings. This dramatic melting could cause serious issues for coastal ...

But underneath all that melting ice is something the whole world wants: the rare earth elements that make modern society—and the clean energy revolution—possible. That could soon turn ...

In fact, simulations have shown that the ice sheet may have benefitted from elevated western topography and ice caps during the last interglacial 130–115,000 years ago, preventing total ice ...

Around 14,500 years ago, toward the end of the last ice age, melting continental ice sheets drove a sudden and cataclysmic sea level rise of up to 65 feet in just 500 years or less.
