In the first study to consider the long-term evolution of the rivers that flow beneath glaciers, researchers have new insights into the future of Antarctica’s melting ice that may change the way climate scientists predict the effects of a warming planet.

As the world focuses on glacier preservation this UN World Water Day, researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring the glaciers of the Yukon’s St. Elias Mountains.

Heatwaves appear to trigger heritable gene expression changes that may help make the fish more tolerant of thermal stress, researchers report in novel study. 

Scientists from the University of Sheffield will warn policymakers that the shrinking glaciers of the Andes threaten the water supply of 90 million people on the South American continent at the first-ever World Day for Glaciers hosted by UNESCO in Paris.

Since 2000, the melting of Arctic glaciers has exposed some 1,500 miles of coastline, a study finds.

Open data from sources such as the US Geological Survey are an essential scientific resource for understanding our environment in a warming world.

By 2050, sea levels along the United States coast are expected to rise by 0.25 to 0.30 meters, increasing flooding in low-lying areas. 

People over 50 who recently experienced an extreme weather event far more likely to express concern about the effects of climate change on their health.

Scientists have been testing how heat affects our hearts for years. But here's the thing: the most commonly used method might not provide much insight into what happens to the heart during heat waves.

The oldest ice ever extracted from Antarctica is on its way to Europe, marking a major milestone in climate science.
