When large masses of water are moved from one place to another, this changes the shape of Earth and leads to a phenomenon ...

On looking for an explanation of this phenomenon, it became at once evident that the experiment contained the germ of the explanation of glacier motion.

Dr James Head III, of Brown University in the US, this week presented new evidence of glaciers far from Mars' icy poles, at a Geological Society of America meeting in Salt Lake City.

Future studies may also help scientists and governments plan for adaptations. Scientists flabbergasted after observing major change at Earth's North and South Poles: 'More than the effect of ice ...

Glacier sliding is key to erosion at the glacier bed. In Kennicott Glacier, Alaska, we found an ideal natural experiment to probe the role of glacier hydrology in setting basal motion.
