Half of the Earth’s glaciers, notably smaller ones, are destined to disappear by the end of the century because of climate change, but limiting global warming could save others, according to a new study. The findings, published in the journal Science on Thursday, provide the most comprehensive look so far at the future of the […]
Not too long ago, 41-year-old Garrett Fisher flew in a small airplane close to the surface of Europe’s largest glacier, which is in Norway. A glacier is a huge area of snow and ice that moves slowly down a mountain side. In that environment, the plane carrying a man who chases glaciers seemed almost like […]

When glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere shrink as a result of climate change, large amounts of microorganisms will be released to the surrounding environment. This has been established by a research team headed by Ian Stevens, postdoc at the Department of Environmental Science at Aarhus University, in a new research article that has been published […]
Fast-melting glaciers are releasing staggering amounts of bacteria into rivers and streams, which could transform icy ecosystems, scientists warn. In a study of glacial runoff from 10 sites across the Northern Hemisphere, researchers have estimated that continued global warming over the next 80 years could release hundreds of thousands of tonnes of bacteria into environments […]

By Rachel Koning Beals Glaciers are key to biodiversity, which feeds the planet, and to tourism. But unchecked global warming leaves them at great risk by 2050. Some of the world’s most famous glaciers, including those in the Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks in the U.S., are at great risk of disappearing by 2050 due […]
Yosemite’s glaciers are steadily melting away, but Yellowstone’s have been gone for thousands of years/NPS file Does Yellowstone National Park really have glaciers today, and are there not national parks in the Great Plains? Those questions came up in recent news reports, one from 60 Minutes and the other from various media that picked up […]
