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 ...

“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.” Image caption, Pakistan is ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
