Rocks newly exposed after millennia beneath ice reveal that tropical glaciers have shrunk to their smallest extent in over 11,700 years. This discovery indicates the tropics have warmed beyond levels seen in the early Holocene epoch, according to researchers from Boston College, whose findings were published in Science.

The University of Texas at Austin has initiated an expedition to explore the underwater boundaries of Greenland's coastal glaciers to gain insights into future sea level rise.
The four-week international expedition will study the mechanisms controlling the melting of these massive glaciers, which hold about 23 feet (7 meters) of potential sea level rise within their ice.
