When the edge of a Greenland glacier breaks off into the sea to become an iceberg, can a global seismic network "hear" it?

A fiber-optic cable lying quietly on the seafloor has captured 56,000 iceberg break-offs in just three weeks. This experiment reveals, in remarkable detail, how glaciers fracture, collapse, and ...

Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and ...

When giant icebergs break off of huge, fast-moving glaciers, they essentially push back on those rivers of ice and temporarily reverse the flow. That's according to a new study of "glacial earthquakes ...

A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice sheet is melting at an increasingly faster rate due to huge underwater waves that churn up warm seawater. A GreenFjord project research team unveiled ...

(Gray News) – Scientists said earthquakes have been shaking the Antarctic’s Thwaites Glacier, also known as the Doomsday Glacier. According to a study published last month, ice that has accumulated in ...

Erin Pettit and researchers at Oregon State University were set to find out. They’ve been studying melting glaciers by dropping hydrophones — specialized underwater microphones — into the water near ...
