A tidewater glacier in Alaska is melting underwater at rates upwards of two orders of magnitude greater than what is currently estimated, sonar surveys reveal. The study's results, based on direct ...

By including bursting bubbles in their model, the team was able to describe the observed melting of tidewater glaciers far more closely than previous studies. “In a lab setting, we found that glacier ...

Researchers focused on tidewater glaciers that are more dynamic and subject to ongoing changes driven by underwater melting and iceberg calving where the ocean meets the ice. Scientists conducted ...

Matanuska Glacier, about 100 miles from Anchorage, is another example. “It's only retreated a little bit. It's actually very close to where it was even 120 years ago, but it has thinned a lot ...

Bursting air bubbles may play key role in how glacier ice melts, OSU research suggests ...

Today, however, the last tidewater glaciers continue to recede up into the mountains rather than gather for another advance. There are exceptions, depending on the lay of the land: A few glaciers ...
