The findings, published Thursday in the journal Science, suggest that the Cordilleran ice sheet had largely melted as early as 14,000 years ago, a revision of previous estimates that much of western ...

The fossil discovered at Sea-Tac Airport is at the Burke Museum, and named for the man who first came across it. Nearly 60% ...

Greenland's ice sheet currently spans over 1.7 million square kilometers and is the largest freshwater reservoir in the ...

Growing more than a mile thick at its peak about 14,000 years ago, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet sculpted the topography that today takes our breath away. Glaciation is also responsible for B.C.’s ...

His present research is focussed on trying to resolve aspects of the stratigraphy of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet and associated paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Glacial history of the Ruby Range in ...

Melting causes the Greenland Ice Sheet's glaciers to flow faster down slopes and valleys; this, in turn, stretches the ice sheet so much that it cracks open, Chudley explained. "As the ice sheet ...

Past ice sheets have retreated rapidly, raising global sea level at rates >1 cm per year, with marine ice sheets collapsing and terrestrial ice sheets retreating in a more gradual fashion.
