A team hopes to place instruments in the waters beneath the colossal Thwaites Glacier, with the help of a drill that uses hot water to punch through ice.

Try these five common household items to melt snow and ice after the winter storm: A simple solution of warm water, one-fourth cup of rubbing alcohol and a few drops of dish soap is a cost-effective, environmentally-friendly alternative to rock salt, the Old Farmer’s Almanac says.

When this ice finally does melt, it could leave behind structural damage and potholes. Damage stems from snow expanding when it freezes, leaving behind cracks.

Here are five household items that can help melt snow and ice—and keep you safe on slippery sidewalks and driveways.

Algae blooms are accelerating Greenland's ice melt, contributing significantly to runoff in the rapidly warming Arctic. Wind-blown dust carrying nutrients fuels these dark patches, which absorb more solar heat and speed up the melting process.

Large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international study is the first to understand why. A University of Waterloo scientist and a team of international collaborators found that airborne mineral dust and other aerosols are directly connected to how much algae grows on the ice.

Ice is starting to melt as temperatures climb above freezing. Sterlington police said this poses certain dangers.
