Crevasses play an integral part in the life cycle of glaciers, and as they grow they hold the potential to further accelerate ...

Some coastal areas are already struggling to adapt to sea level rise, and millions of people around the world are at risk of ...

"For the first time, we are able to see significant increases in the size and depth of crevasses at fast-flowing glaciers at ...

Greenland’s Ice Sheet is cracking open at the seams, literally falling apart at speeds indicative of the brutal and ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new ...

The increased crevassing, especially prominent in fast-flowing portions of the ice sheet, could lead to a feedback loop that accelerates ice loss from the glacier, which ultimately raises sea levels.

Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures or cracks that open in glaciers where ice begins to flow faster. The research team says ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open at an accelerating pace, with crevasses growing larger and deeper due to the effects of climate change. A new study using high-resolution 3D mapping has reveal ...

As glacial ice flows, stress fractures that run tens of metres deep form in the glacier’s surface (pictured). These crevasses increase the rate of ice movement, which creates more cracks in a ...

Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures and cracks that open in glaciers where the ice begins to flow faster. They can grow to more than 300 feet wide, thousands of feet long and hundreds of feet deep.

Crevasses are wedge-shaped fractures or cracks that open in glaciers where ice begins to flow faster. The research team says that crevasses are also getting bigger and deeper where ice is flowing ...
