Climate change: River redirected
Nature Geoscience 10, 327 (2017). doi:10.1038/ngeo2946 Author: Rachel M. Headley Glaciers and ice sheets are retreating in response to climate warming. An analysis of drainage patterns of a huge glacier in Yukon, Canada shows that glacier retreat has led to … Continue reading
Retreating Yukon glacier caused a river to disappear
A postmortem of the first known case of ‘river piracy’ in modern times outlines how a retreating glacier in the Yukon diverted water from one river to another, leading to many downstream effects. Geology News — ScienceDaily
