This decrease of snowfall is driven by changing sea surface temperature patterns in the Indian Ocean, which is a signal of global warming.

Glaciers in North America, Europe and the Andes, in particular, have significantly less ice than people realized.

An estimated 13 trillion litres of ice has already been lost from glaciers in New Zealand’s Southern Alps since 1978. Several are now approaching extinction.

Policy-makers need the courage to commit to meaningful reductions of greenhouse gas emissions if we want to avoid the widespread loss of mountain glaciers.

For the first time, scientists have been able to quantify how much climate change contributed to glacial melt, using more than 40 years of data from New Zealand’s retreating glaciers.

A breakthrough has helped researchers track down penguins living in the dark.

Think Arctic, think stranded polar bears? There’s more to it than that.

Antarctica’s riskiest glacier is a disaster in slow motion, a polar scientist writes. But in a rare bit of good news, the worst-case scenario may be off the table.

A new study highlights one of the largest temperature anomalies recorded anywhere, ever.

We used 11 different satellite missions to track Antarctica’s contribution to rising sea levels.
