Scientists have employed a new method utilizing tsunami signals to calculate the calving magnitude of an ocean-terminating glacier in northwestern Greenland, uncovering correlations between calving ...

Johan Gaume, an EPFL expert in avalanches and geomechanics, has turned his attention to ice. His goal is to better understand the correlation between the size of an iceberg and the amplitude of the ...

The massive March 11 Japan earthquake and its ensuing tsunami were so powerful that they broke off huge icebergs thousands of miles away in Antarctica, according to a new study. The calving of ...

GREENBELT, Maryland, August 10, 2011 (ENS) – The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March were strong enough to send waves to Antarctica that broke a chunk of ice twice the size of Manhattan ...

For the first time scientists have observed the power of a tsunami to break off large icebergs in Antarctica. The tsunami - which was triggered by the earthquake off the coast of Japan earlier in the ...

In recent years, glaciers near the North and South poles, as well as in mountainous areas, have been shrinking due to the effect of global warming, becoming a significant contributor to the recent sea ...

A team of scientists has developed a new model for simulating both iceberg calving and the tsunamis that are triggered as a result. Their method can help improve hazard assessment in coastal areas and ...
