A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting in the Greenland ice sheet by ...

An article published recently in Nature Geoscience warns that Antarctica's ice masses have begun to experience a process scientists call "Greenlandification." The term refers to the unprecedented ...

"The rapid transformation of the ice sheet not only has global environmental consequences, such as sea level rise and possible alterations in ocean circulation, but also places the Arctic at the ...

Scientists discover that giant columns of softer ice within the Greenland ice sheet behave like pasta boiling, due to ...

Greenland is one of the fastest-melting cryosphere regions on Earth. In fact, scientists say the large-scale melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is irreversible, and it’s happening now at an ...

Greenland’s vast ice sheet is not just shrinking, it is rearranging the physics of the oceans around it. As the ice melts and flows into surrounding seas, it is driving strange local sea level drops, ...

Climate change has significant yet odd effects on locations around the world. In some cases it affects migration patters ...

The phenomenon was described by a professor as similar to "a pot of boiling pasta" – and it's happening to solid ice.

Sediment drilled from beneath Greenland’s Prudhoe Dome shows the ice cap vanished about 7,000 years ago, offering new clues about future melt. (CREDIT: Jason Briner/University at Buffalo) Deep under ...

If all the ice of Greenland were to melt – albeit an impossible proposition during this century – that could result in 23ft of sea-level rise, or 7.4m, scientists say. Rising sea levels makes flooding ...

New photographs show that a giant glacier that's nearly twice the size of Manhattan is close to breaking off from Greenland, and scientists were shocked at the speed of glacial break-up. "I was ...
