Description:
One of the most consequential impacts of climate changes is an increase in ice loss from glaciers and ice sheets. Such losses are largely responsible for increasing rates of sea level rise. Despite confidence that ice ...

Description
Recent studies have demonstrated that glaciers play a central role in the evolution of ice sheets, and ice sheet numerical models indicate that the largest uncertainties in sea level projection are caused by uncertainties in the evolu...

Description
Planetary scientists often rely on the polar ice-covered regions on Earth as analogs for the polar regions of Mars. Ancient ice cores dated using stable isotopes of trapped gases are studied to characterize the types of cold-adapted b...
