Two Pictures 104 Years Apart Show Disturbing Glacial Melt in Norway Global warming is taking its toll on the world’s glaciers. This could not be more drastically represented than by this side-by-side picture comparison. The original picture was taken in 1918. It shows such massive glaciers that you could barely see the impressive mountains behind them. In the second picture, it is the mountains that look massive. These photos show the […] Industry News Brent Thomas | June 30, 2022 1 Comment
Greenland’s Ice Sheet May Have Reached a Tipping Point That Sets It On an Irreversible Path Greenland’s ice sheet may have reached a tipping point that sets it on an irreversible path. Nearly 40 years of Greenland satellite data showed that its glaciers have shrunk so much that even if global warming stopped today, the ice sheet would continue to shrink.

Alaska Glacier Melt Could Trigger Catastrophic Tsunami The melting of an Alaska glacier could trigger a catastrophic tsunami within the next year. Alaska’s Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has warned of the threat of a large and potentially dangerous tsunami. The dangerous event is looming on the Prince William Sound and could release millions of tons of rock into the Harriman Fjord. Warming temperatures have […] Brains Sebastian Opazo | July 30, 2020 0 Comments

Antarctic Ice Melting 3X Faster Than Ten Years Ago Image: Huffington Post The ice sheets of Antarctica are home to 60-90% of the world’s freshwater. According to a new study published in the journal Nature, the Antarctic ice sheets are shrinking faster than ever before. In fact, the study states that sea ice loss is occurring at triple the rate from 2007. The continent lost 3 million tons of […] Featured Article Jenah MacGrain | June 15, 2018 2 Comments
