The calving was so drastic that it caused measurable earthquakes in the region. An Antarctic glacier has experienced a rapid retreat 10 times faster than previously measured, according to new research ...

Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and ...

Researchers in Greenland used a 10-kilometer fiber-optic cable to track how iceberg calving stirs up warm seawater. The resulting surface tsunamis and massive hidden underwater waves intensify melting ...

Dominik Gräff, a University of Washington postdoctoral researcher in Earth and space sciences (pictured in the center), and two crew members load the fiber optic cable, spooled around a large drum, ...

The noise announces that the glacier has just gotten a little smaller as a mini tsunami rolls toward the boat, swaying it from side to side. Eqi is an appropriate name -- it means edge. Being here is ...

As the planet warms, the world’s glaciers are melting faster than snow can replenish the ice. That has implications for sea level rise, ocean currents, and global weather patterns. But collecting data ...
