Scientists Identify 3,000 "Surging" Glaciers, List Out Risks: Study
Scientists confirmed that over 3,100 glaciers have surged. They have also identified 81 glaciers that pose the greatest danger once they have surged.

Glaciers Speed Up in Summer and Slow in Winter, New Global Map Reveals
A new global map of glacier speeds, built from nearly a decade of satellite observations, shows that glaciers consistently move faster in summer and slower in winter. Meltwater acts as a natural lubricant, accelerating flow during warm months. Scientists warn that glaciers with strong seasonal shifts are likely to speed up long-term, adding to futu...

Study Explains How Climate Change May Be Causing Minor Tremors In Alps
A new study links climate change-induced glacier melt in the Alps to a surge in minor earthquakes, warning that seismic risk may rise globally as glaciers continue to shrink.

Uttarakhand Tunnel Rescuers Change Strategy, River Surge Triggers Scare
Rescue agencies began drilling through the debris in the Tapovan tunnel to establish contact with over 30 people trapped inside after a flash flood, an operation which stalled briefly Thursday when the Dhauliganga river began swelling again.

Water Levels Surge Up In Dhauli Ganga Once Again After Glacier Burst
The water level in the Dhauli Ganga river surged up once again on Sunday night under the impact of the glacial burst during the day, creating panic among people living in the area.

So Much Water Pulsed Through A Melting Glacier That It Warped The Earth's Crust
NASA scientists detected a pulse of melting ice and water travelling through a major glacier in Greenland that was so big that it warped the solid Earth - a surge equivalent in mass to 18,000 Empire State Buildings.
