The lingering Laurentide Ice Sheet may have masked the true extent of Antarctic ice loss—offering a warning for future change. 100% = global mean sea level rise; areas above saw higher-than ...

FARGO — Twenty thousand years ago, at the peak of the last major world glaciation, the Laurentide ice sheet covered our region in ice to a depth of about one mile. The massive glacier may have ...

A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise around the globe. Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, in ...

Imagine that a massive ice sheet covered Canada and oozed down over a large part of the northern United States, like icing spilling down the side of a cake. That was the situation, somewhere ...

Remnants of the Laurentide ice sheet lasted until about 7,000 years ago. Climate simulations show that they caused the multimillennial delay between maximum early Holocene solar radiation and ...

A rediscovered sample of frozen sediment, collected more than 50 years ago, highlights the vulnerability of Greenland’s ice sheet to a warming climate. By Emily Anthes In 1966, scientists at ...

Containing around 750,000 cubic miles of ice – enough to fill Wembley Stadium nearly 3 billion times – the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is a rich reservoir of precious frozen freshwater.

I am a master's student currently working with Jeremy Shakun on reconstructing Laurentide Ice Sheet Meltwater processes in the Gulf of Mexico. My research interests include paleoclimatology, as well ...

To find some evidence of the Ice Age, you can head to one of the White Mountains’ most popular tourist destinations: the Flume Gorge. This naturally formed, narrow granite channel was forged ...
