Retreating glaciers in southern Alaska may be opening the
way for future earthquakes, according to scientists at NASA
and the USGS. Higher temperatures and changes in precipitation
over the last 100 years appear to be contributing to an
increase in glacier melting in this environment that is
particularly sensitive to climate change. Melting glaciers
lighten the load on massive rocky slabs of Earth's crust
called tectonic plates, and free them up to move sooner than
they would otherwise.
