Scientists fear Greenland ice cap more quickly than expected, and triggering earthquakes.

As early as the 1970s, several theorists and climate modelers predicted that global warming would cause ice shelves in the oceans around Antarctica to melt and release glaciers.

SEATTLE A series of increasingly strong earthquakes at Mount St. Helens may be signaling a small explosion. A swarm of hundreds of earthquakes began Thursday.

Geologists describe Sunday&#39;s powerful earthquake in the Indian Ocean as a once-in-a-generation event. The US Geological Survey says the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that triggered the devastating

Some of Antarctica&#39;s glaciers are melting faster than snow can replace them, enough to raise sea levels measurably, scientists have reported.

Scientists find many regions on Earth that once had permanent frozen ground are now experiencing a thaw.

Scientists say changes in the earth's climate from human influences are occurring particularly intensely in the Arctic region, evidenced by widespread melting of glaciers, thinning sea ice and rising permafrost temperatures.

Some Antarctic glaciers are flowing seaward five times faster than they did just two years ago, increasing concerns about rises in sea levels resulting from the warming of Earth&#39;s polar caps.

An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 8.1, the year&#39;s strongest, shook the ocean floor today between Australia and Antarctica.

After 100 years of speculation, scientists have finally found proof that strong tides can trigger earthquakes. The link was confirmed by a trio of researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles

Some of Antarctica's glaciers are melting faster than snow can replace them, enough to raise sea levels measurably, scientists reported on Friday.

Description: New evidence is reported that rising global temperatures could have rapid effects on the Antarctic ice pack and on ocean levels.

Global warming is causing the Arctic ice-cap to melt at such an unprecedented rate that by the summer of 2070 it may have no ice at all, according to the most comprehensive study carried out on global climate change in the region.

Climatic changes appear to be destabilizing vast ice sheets of western Antarctica that had previously seemed relatively protected from global warming, researchers reported yesterday, raising the prospect of faster sea-level rise than current estimates.

Greenhouse gases have contributed to a gradual warming of the ecologically-fragile Arctic region, causing massive climate changes, including melting glaciers and sea ice, according to a soon-to-be-released environmental study.

Global warming this century could trigger a runaway thaw of Greenland's ice sheet and other abrupt shifts such as a dieback of the Amazon rainforest, scientists said on Monday.

The consequences of such a massive meltdown of northern ice would be dramatic, according to the study. â¢ Low-lying coastal areas in Florida and Louisiana could be flooded by the sea.
