In 2011, a ghostly depression, known as "the mitten," appeared on the surface of and ice sheet in Greenland after the ...

A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could improve estimates of sea level rise ...

Greenland's ice melt is accelerating due to climate change, doubling extreme melt episodes and raising sea levels.

After several days, Oden successfully reached Victoria Fjord, becoming the first large-scale research vessel to study the ...

The data indicates that the Thwaites Glacier and much of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be lost entirely by the 23rd century. Worryingly, if it collapses entirely, the experts say global sea ...

Triggered by an abrupt period of warming during the late Pleistocene, which ended about 11,700 years ago, the collapse of the Cordilleran ice sheet holds important lessons for both the style and pace ...

which all descend from the Greenland Ice Sheet, have retreated about 20 per cent more than previously estimated (Getty Images) While no cruise ships were near the fjord at the time, the ...

However, Greenland has been warming at an even faster rate than the rest of the world, leading to accelerated ice sheet melting. This intensified warming in the northern regions, known as Arctic ...

The study predicts a gradual Antarctic ice sheet loss until 2100. Afterward, rapid retreat may occur, leading to sea-level ...

New Discovery About Ice Layer Formation in Ice Sheets Can Improve Sea Level Rise Predictions Sep. 12, 2024 — A newly discovered mechanism for the flow and freezing of ice sheet meltwater could ...

The world's two largest freshwater reservoirs, the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets, are covered in old snow, known as firn, that's not yet compacted into solid ice. Because the firn is porous ...
