China's Glacial Area Shrinks 26% In 60 Years, 7,000 Glaciers Disappear
China is staring at a water crisis in the mid-to-long term after the latest climate data showed a rapidly depleting glacial count. As many as 7,000 glaciers have disappeared completely, with the pace of glacial retreat accelerating year-on-year.

Antarctica's 'Doomsday Glacier' In Trouble As Warm Water Melts Weak Spots
Scientists studying Antarctica's vast Thwaites Glacier - nicknamed the Doomsday Glacier - say warm water is seeping into its weak spots, worsening melting caused by rising temperatures, two papers published in Nature journal showed on Wednesday.

Sea Level Rise Is Accelerating And Its Rate Could Double In Next Century
Global warming has caused the world's oceans to rise over the past 150 years. Warming seas expand and water from melting glaciers and ice sheets have had nowhere to go but into the oceans. The rising seas have slowly and steadily eaten away at the coast.

Millions At Risk Of Water Shortages As Asian Glaciers Melt: Study
Asian glaciers are set to shrink by at least a third by 2100 due to climate change, researchers said on Thursday, threatening millions who depend on their meltwaters for drinking, farming and hydro-electricity.

Alaska Glaciers Leading to Global Sea Level Rise: Study
Alaska's melting glaciers are adding enough water to the Earth's oceans to cover the state of Alaska with a 1-foot thick layer of water every seven years, finds a study.

Hidden Paths Could Be Behind Antarctic Glacier Melt, Says Study
Scientists have discovered two pathways that are likely channelling warm ocean water under a massive Antarctic glacier, which could contribute to rising global sea levels, a study revealed today.
