A recent study of Greenland’s ice sheet found that glaciers are retreating in nearly every sector of the island, while also undergoing other physical changes….
As glaciers flow outward from the Greenland Ice Sheet, what lies beneath them offers clues to their role in future ice thinning and sea-level rise…
A team of researchers understands more about the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. They discovered a flow of hot rocks, known as a mantle…
The jagged terrain of Greenland’s mountains is protecting some of the island’s outlet glaciers from warm coastal waters, according to a team of researchers that…
Researchers climbed into moulins, which drain meltwater from the ice sheet, to better understand how volume relates to ice movement. Holes that carry surface meltwater…
Computational models suggest that melting water originating in the deep interior of Greenland could flow the entire length of a subglacial valley and exit at…
Inaccessible for now, unique site may hold secrets of past. Scientists have detected what they say are the sediments of a huge ancient lake bed…
Details about the physical transformation of over 200 of the island’s coastal glaciers are documented in a new study, in which the authors anticipate environmental…
The research places the ice sheet’s modern decline in historical context, providing a robust look at how this century’s losses could starkly outpace prior changes….
A recent report confirms that ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, whose mass-loss rates have been rapidly increasing, are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate…
At the turn of the 21st century, unbeknownst to the world, the Greenland ice sheet likely entered a state of sustained mass loss that will…
Scientists have gained new insights into the processes that have driven ocean level variations for over a century, helping us prepare for the rising seas…
After a brief period of moderate ice loss, the Greenland ice sheet melted in 2019 at the fastest rate ever measured. Greenland set a new…
A deep-sea soft coral garden habitat has been discovered in Greenlandic waters by scientists from UCL, ZSL and Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, using an…
Northwest Greenland is featured in this icy image captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission. Lying in the North Atlantic Ocean, Greenland is the world’s largest…
Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser instrument NASA has ever flown in space, a team of scientists led by the University of Washington has made…
Ice loss from Antarctica and Greenland account for roughly a half-inch of sea level rise between 2003 and 2019. Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser…
Last year was one of the worst years on record for the Greenland ice sheet, which shrunk by hundreds of billions of tons. According to…
