Canada glacier melt rerouted in rare river piracy case
Washington researchers report the first modern river piracy event, as water from Yukon’s Kaskawalsh Glacier shifted from the Slims River to the Alsek, draining the Slims to a shallow flow while the Alsek deepened, with the change occurring in May. The reroute forms a canyon and redirects meltwater toward the Pacific instead of the Arctic.
