When massive blocks of ice detach from glaciers, it is known as calving. This process is one of the main ways that glaciers lose mass, and has long been a dramatic visualization of changes in ice ...

Wildebeest migration, calving, and grazing help the Serengeti soil store thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide per acre.

New research has, for the first time, tracked ice shelf, sea ice and ocean swell wave conditions over multiple years in the lead-up to three large-scale iceberg "calving" events in Antarctica, ...

The iceberg was the result of a "calving" event that scientists had been expecting for about a decade A massive iceberg larger than New York City broke off of an ice shelf in Antarctica this week, the ...

Arecent study conducted by University of Florida geologists and geographers has shed new light on the effects of climate change on Antarctic ice shelves. It found that while there has been broad ice ...

A deafening rumble alerted two scientists to an amazing sight: the collapse of one of Greenland's biggest and fastest-moving glaciers. And because the scientists were already in place with a ...

To estimate the amount of ice sloughing off glaciers and falling into rising seas, scientists may simply need to listen. New research finds that sound recordings can not only capture the timing of ...

It’s finally adrift. When the Larsen C Ice Shelf calved yesterday, it sent one of the largest icebergs ever recorded slipping into a sea frosted with smaller chunks of ice. It marked the end of a ...
