This release is also available in French and German. EPFL researchers have developed a numerical model that can re-create the state of Switzerland's Rhône Glacier as it was in 1874 and predict its ...

Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models. Scientists at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have used AI to massively speed up ...

The Bering-Bagley Glacial System (BBGS) is the largest ice system outside of the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and is Earth's largest surge-type glacier. Surging is one of three types of glacial ...

Using a first-of-its-kind, high-resolution numerical model to describe ocean circulation during the last ice age about 21,000 year ago, oceanographers have shown that icebergs and meltwater from the ...
