glaciers

NASA scientists find what they believe are huge water ice glaciers sitting just beneath the Martian surface.

Vast Martian glaciers of water ice under protective blankets of rocky debris persist today at much lower latitudes than any ice previously identified on Mars, says new research using ground-penetrating radar on NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Because water is one of the primary requirements for life as we know it, finding large new reservoirs of frozen [...]

Scientists from the U.S., U.K. and Australia have teamed up to explore two of the last uncharted regions of Earth, the Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins, immense ice-buried lowlands in Antarctica with a combined area the size of Mexico.

The research could show how Earth's climate changed in the past and how future climate change [...]

Natural restrictions on the way glaciers move means sea level rise above 2m this century is very unlikely, researchers say.

Boy this Windows collapsing under its own weight argument has some legs. A few points about this Gartner presentation two days ago, which has raised quite a ruckus on Techmeme.

The analysts argued Wednesday morning that Windows was collapsing under its own weight because the code is too bulky.

The rate at which some of the world's glaciers are melting has more than doubled, new data says.
