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...
