Models of glacial flow and retreat rely on estimates of glacial ice viscosity, the measure of the ice's resistance to flow.

Predicting the expected loss of ice sheet mass is difficult due to the complexity of modeling ice sheet behavior. To better understand this loss, a team of researchers has been improving the ...

New Year's Day, 2002. Without warning, a few large cracks in the Larsen B ice shelf appeared in satellite imagery. Within days, car-sized chunks of ice appeared in the water. Then shards of ice larger ...
