Water levels of the critical rivers that originate in the Himalayan glaciers will not drop over the next century, say scientists.
The latest research led by Dr Walter Immerzeel, a scientist from Utrecht University in the Netherlands and visiting scientist at the International...

Instead of wearing mountains down, evidence from Europe's high Alps shows that glaciers shield summits from erosion, acting as a protective lid.
French scientists studied erosion on Mont Blanc, western Europe's highest peak, below...
