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, ...

New research reveals Greenland ice melt will cause a a 274 millimeter rise in sea levels — though an even bigger 700-plus millimeter rise could occur in a high-warming scenario.

Hoerhold and outside scientists said the new warming data are bad news because Greenland’s ice sheet is melting. In fact, the study ends with data from 2011 and the next year had a record melt ...

Now, Greenland's ice sheet is losing nearly 300 gigatons of water each year more than it gains from snowfall, Lipscomb said. "There's still time to avoid catastrophic sea level rise, ...

Greenland’s melting ice sheet is “a massive contributor to global sea level rise,” one contributor to the Oceanography special report, Jason Briner, told USA TODAY in an email Tuesday.

The Greenland ice sheet, the second largest body of ice in the world is cracking open more faster than before, due to climate change, says a new study. The study conducted by researchers from ...

The Greenland ice sheet lost 20 percent more ice than scientists previously thought, posing potential problems for ocean circulation and sea level rise, a study says.

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

The ice cores are used to make a chart of proxy temperatures for Greenland running from the year 1000 to 2011. It shows temperatures gently sloping cooler for the first 800 years, then wiggling up ...
