Scientists just discovered that nearly 100 hidden ice reserves beneath Utah's mountains are quietly feeding the state's water supply long after snow melts. The findings could help drought-stricken communities tap into a water source most people didn't know existed.
NASA scientists turned eight years of glacier data into a mesmerizing animation that shows ice flowing like a living heartbeat. The visualization reveals how Norway's Stonebreen glacier naturally speeds up and slows down with the seasons.
Communities in northern Pakistan are reviving an ancient practice called glacier grafting to create new water sources as climate change shrinks existing glaciers. The centuries-old technique involves collecting ice from "male" and "female" glaciers to birth new ones that will flow for generations.
Astronauts watching Chile's Tyndall Glacier retreat from space witnessed something unexpected: the melting ice is exposing ancient marine reptile fossils hidden for millions of years. While glaciers worldwide face climate challenges, this discovery is opening a window into Earth's prehistoric past.
A team of researchers endured fierce winds and extreme cold while camping on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier for eight weeks to drill through half a mile of ice. Their mission could provide breakthrough data on how ocean water melts glaciers from below, helping predict future sea level rise.
Hard Rock Heals Foundation just distributed $255,000 to 51 nonprofit organizations across 18 countries, supporting everything from children with disabilities to human trafficking survivors. Each grassroots organization received $5,000 to strengthen the communities where Hard Rock properties operate.
After falling 70 meters into an Annapurna crevasse and being clinically dead for four hours, Anurag Maloo turned his survival into a mission to save the glaciers that nearly killed him. His new foundation is making glacier loss impossible to ignore.
More than 250 volunteers will fan out across Little Rock to help 13 nonprofits, including a home that's housed cancer patients and NICU families free for 23 years. Serve the Rock Community Impact Day connects businesses with neighbors who need help most.
Researchers solved a mystery that has stumped archaeologists for decades by matching ancient paintings at a Kenyan rock shelter to specific communities using DNA evidence. The discovery reveals nearly 9,000 years of human history painted on a single rock wall.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's largest ever Paul McCartney collection celebrates his reinvention as a family man and bandleader after The Beatles. The exhibit showcases how Wings pioneered bringing domestic life into rock music during the 1970s.
