Scientists have been trying for decades to uncover the true geology of Greenland, an island one-third the size of Australia and almost entirely concealed under mile-deep ice sheets. For a recent ...

Some 400,000 years ago, Greenland was, well, green, scientists say. According to a new study released Thursday, the massive island was an ice-free tundra landscape – perhaps covered by trees.

For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's likely that you've heard more about it over the last few months than in the rest ...

Major ice loss from Greenland is exposing the island's natural ... Alongside Greenland's harsh climate, remote landscape and small population, Sage highlighted a lack of infrastructure as a ...

A large portion of Greenland was an ice-free tundra landscape -- perhaps covered by trees and roaming woolly mammoths -- in the recent geologic past (about 416,000 years ago), a new study shows.

The melting of some of Greenland's ice around 416,000 years ago left behind an ice-free tundra landscape that may have been covered by trees and roaming woolly mammoths. The melting also took ...

of Greenland's massive ice sheet melted away, new research has found, giving way to a dry and barren "tundra landscape" that was home to various insects and plant life. The findings were shared in ...

A massive glacier in Greenland is melting much faster than predicted, which could lead to huge rises in sea levels, scientists have warned. "The ice sheet is more than 2 million years old and now ...

tundra landscape. A team of scientists re-examined a few inches of sediment from the bottom of a two-mile-deep ice core extracted at the very center of Greenland in 1993—and held for 30 years in ...

and fungi — hallmarks of a tundra landscape. These fossil finds suggest that not only was the center of Greenland ice-free within the past 2 million years, but that it was also unfrozen long ...

Ecolution is the RTÉ climate change podcast for young people. On this episode we head to Greenland to look at melting sea ice and rising sea levels.

When the ice sheet surface is lowered by melting at a rate outweighing the uplift of the landscape due to glacial isostatic adjustment, then the Greenland ice sheet mass tips from approximately 50 ...
