Medicine & TechnologyMore than 1,000 microbes and viruses trapped in melting Tibetan glaciers are discovered by Chinese scientists. How dangerous is this? Read to know more.
Scientists found the first complete ichthyosaur fossils that lived 139 million years ago from a melting glacier in Patagonia Chile. Check out the amazing discovery in this article.
Recent research shows that the Himalayan glaciers have retreated by over 40% during the modern age when compared to the size and volume during the Little Ice Age period. The shocking discovery raises threats to the water supplies of hundreds of millions of Asian residents.
Satellite images recently revealed that a glacier that sits on an ice shelf is susceptible to failure because of a newly-discovered fissure on its surface and a crack across the entire shelf.
NASA’s OMG project has started with its last survey of melting glaciers from Greenland. For the last six years, the mission has been measuring how fast the rise of sea level is.
With only a third of a slope along one flank of a fjord in Prince William Sound is supported by ice, an earthquake, prolonged heavy rain, and heat wave will most likely trigger a landslide.
Scientists make a valuable discovery in a glacial plateau on the northwest part of Tibet in China. This discovery finds viruses that were in a deep freeze in the glacier for the past 15,000 years. These viruses are archaic and unknown to science, and it will give an idea of how viruses developed and culture that long ago.
The ceremony was held on Sunday, August 18.As climate change continues to be a substantial threat to Earth, it is obvious that more awareness is required.
Currently, more advanced satellites, sophisticated climate models, and weather stations have aided in collecting a more precise data on the measurement of the melting glaciers.
