Meltwaters are most acidified, and most laden with heavy metals, in the high Andes, where the glaciers are actively melting. Indigenous villages at these elevations are the most vulnerable ...

Uttarakhand is witnessing alarming glacier melt rates, driven by global warming, human activities like road construction and deforestation, and hydropower projects. This rapid melting poses severe ...

Glaciers in the European Alps are among the most vulnerable, with projections suggesting more than 75% volume loss—and possible complete disappearance—under high-emission scenarios.

If all the world's glaciers melted, what would that mean for nature and for human civilization? Some scientists in Switzerland say nature itself would survive, but for humans it could be a catastrophe ...

Glaciers around the world are shrinking at an alarming rate, threatening sea-level rise, water availability, biodiversity, and ecosystem stability. A new study led by researchers from ETH Zurich and ...

“The rainfall pattern is changing. The snowfall pattern is changing and then the melting of the glacier is changing. So it’s changing the dynamics of hazards.” Pakistan is among the world ...

In Banff National Park, the Peyto Glacier experienced 4.7 metres of melt this year up to the end of August, which is slightly lower compared to the 6.5 metres in 2023 at that point. While warmer ...

What if we continued to increase our greenhouse gas emissions? Troch and his colleagues found that increased snowfall would continue to protect the glaciers from melt if regional warming was curbed at ...
