Heat generated by the friction of rock falling through air melted ice, creating a slurry of rock, debris and sediment that plummeted into Langmale glacial lake below, resulting in a massive flood.

"Glacier-fed streams are the sources of some of the world's ... a high concentration of fine sediment that clouds the water and reduces light penetration, scarce nutrients and low oxygenation. "This ...

SMU research reveals glaciers erode mountains faster than previously thought, with implications for climate change models and ...

Meltwater swept enormous volumes of sediment just freed from the melting ice into every low place it reached. The glacial lakes got their fair share. All glacial lakes, ancient and modern ...

At 5 100 meters above sea level, the air around Bolivia's Huayna Potosí glacier is thin, brittle with altitude. The wind moves over the ice in long, deliberate strokes, shaping a landscape caught ...
