In two recent studies, researchers suggest a weakening ocean current system is to blame for a persistent cold spot in the ...

An unprecedented Arctic heat wave caused record high temperatures in Greenland and Iceland, raising major concerns among ...

The ocean around Antarctica is rapidly getting saltier at the same time as sea ice is retreating at a record pace. Since 2015 ...

When visiting Godrevy beach on the north Cornish coast, most people look out to sea at the lighthouse, surfers and seals ...

The Greenland ice sheet melt extent data, acquired as part of the NASA Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment (PARCA), is a daily (or every other day, prior to August 1987) estimate of the ...

The Earth of the last Ice Age (about 26,000 to 19,000 years ago) was very different from today’s world. In the northern hemisphere, ice sheets up to 8 kilometres tall covered much of Europe ...

What's happening? Greenland has lost more ice than previously estimated — around 20% more — over the past few decades. Roughly 80% of the island is covered in ice, but that is shrinking rapidly.

The remote and often unforgiving surface of Greenland’s ice sheet has long been a subject of intrigue for scientists. What lies beneath the thick layers of snow and ice has been largely a mystery, ...

Research ships rarely brave the Greenland Sea in winter. Early this year, scientists ventured into the ice-covered waters to capture crucial data about the planet’s future.

The wind, having tumbled down 4,000 feet of elevation from the domed summit of the ice sheet hundreds of miles to the west, charged over the surface in wavelike pulses. The GreenDrill site sat on ...

The collapse of the world’s second-largest ice sheet would drown cities worldwide. Is that ice more vulnerable than we know?
