A new study reveals that glaciers prompted volcanic eruptions after they retreated north over the past 800,000 years. The research found that volcanoes were subdued when glaciers were present and became active when they retreated, suggesting a possible connection between climate change and volcanic activity.
Researchers at Ohio State University have retrieved the first ice cores from the Dasuopu Glacier, a 40-meter-wide ice field on the Tibetan Plateau. The cores contain glacial stage ice dating back at least 12,000 years and are expected to provide valuable insights into the monsoonal climate system.
The Variegated Glacier surged hundreds of yards by the end of summer, surprising scientists with an early start. Researchers believe the glacier will follow similar surge-and-rest patterns in the future.
