Climate change is accelerating the melting of the world's mountain glaciers, according to a massive new study that found them shrinking more than twice as fast as in the early 2000s. The world's ...
In the past couple of decades, we’ve had satellites trained on Earth’s ice sheets, documenting climate change-induced losses. Just like glaciers have carved the land, leaving behind features ...

A slab of pykrete Pykrete is made of 14% sawdust and 86% water by mass.. Pykrete (/ ˈ p aɪ k r iː t /, PIE-creet) [1] is a frozen ice composite, [2] originally made of approximately 14% sawdust or some other form of wood pulp (such as paper) and 86% ice by weight (6 to 1 by weight).
The density of dry ice increases with decreasing temperature and ranges between about 1.55 and 1.7 g/cm 3 (97 and 106 lb/cu ft) below 195 K (−78 °C; −109 °F). [3] The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state. [4]
[7] Ice may melt faster along shorelines. Ice under a layer of snow will be thinner and weaker due to the snow's insulating effect; a new snowfall can also warm up and melt existing ice. [ 7 ] However, snow or snow ice may also absorb or reflect incoming solar radiation and prevent rotting until the snow is melted. [ 6 ]
One of the most closely watched glaciers in the world could soon melt faster than expected, a shift that could lead to sudden rises in sea levels. 'Doomsday' glacier could melt faster than ...
Altogether, it was estimated in 2023 that 49% of the world's glaciers would be lost by 2100 at 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) of global warming, and 83% of glaciers would be lost at 4 °C (7.2 °F). This would amount to one quarter and nearly half of mountain glacier *mass* loss, respectively, as only the largest, most resilient glaciers would survive the ...
