***Changed embargo time***Rising sea levels could be 'cancelled out' by increased snowfall
A paper published today in Science shows that the largest ice sheet in the world, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, is growing due to increased snow fall. This growth partly mitigates the sea level rise caused by melting glaciers in other areas, especially Greenland.   view more (2005-05-17)

Arctic sea ice declines again in 2006, say University of Colorado researchers
While cool August temperatures prevented sea ice in the Arctic from reaching its lowest summer extent on record, 2006 continued a pattern of sharp annual decreases due to rising temperatures probably caused by greenhouse warming.   view more (2006-10-05)

Exploring Mars ... from Grenoble
A neutron diffraction experiment carried out recently at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble by the physicists Bachir Ouladdiaf (ILL), Gérard Fillion and Rafik Ballou (Laboratoire Lois Néel, CNRS, GRENOBLE), in partnership with the geophysicists Pierre Rochette (CNRS and... view more (2004-03-18)

Small glaciers in the tropical Andes : a forewarning of disappearance
In ten to fifteen years' time, the small glaciers of the Andes, which constitute 80% of all the glaciers in the tropical regions of that mountain chain, are likely to have vanished. That is the main conclusion reached after studies conducted on the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia and on that of... view more (2001-01-16)
