It’s the kind of event that when it happens, you leave whatever you’re doing,” said Patricia Esquete, the expedition’s chief scientist.

Arête Glacier Initiative has raised $5 million to improve forecasts of sea-level rise and explore the possibility of ...

Researchers were working off the coast of Antarctica when it happened: a gigantic iceberg about 30km long cracked off the ice ...

Recent findings have raised alarm among scientists about the Greenland Ice Sheet’s stability, revealing that crevasses—deep fissures in the ice—are growing at a much faster rate than ...

The Greenland Ice Sheet is cracking open more rapidly as it responds to climate change. The warning comes in a new large-scale study of crevasses on the world's second largest body of ice.

Scientists found that sea levels rose rapidly 11,700 years ago due to melting ice sheets and sudden lake drainage.

Antarctica's ice sheets are massive amounts of ice, kilometres thick, that sit on the continent's bedrock. As the ice sheets build up mass, they start to flow, ever so slowly, off the continent and ...

Kristin Poinar can speak to the media about climate change, ice sheets and sea level rise. As a researcher, she uses computer modeling to understand how Earth’s ice sheets are shrinking and ...
